    Well, I really liked my original answer, so I'm going to stick with 666. :grinning:

    I’m pretty sure I had the low guess and would have won if there were zero cases packaged — but I’m cool with winning this one instead. :sunglasses:

    I’ll go with 11 runs. Thanks.

    Just for the record, we ended up with 788.5 cases. Plus 6+ cases of low-fills.

    Hint #.... Um.... Whatever:

    My target might find it beneficial to check their PO Box on Saturday.

    Are you ninja'ing your actual target, ninja'ing some other poor bastard, causing random confusion, or just yanking our chains?

    You might be the only sender I've ruled out, based solely on being unable to decipher your clues. :grinning:

    I think I have actually and completely accidentally already eliminated everyone except my target. Huh. I thought those first three hints were way more general than they ended up becoming. I'll keep it going, though, for funsies - and to help anyone else fill out their matrix in case they're not sure. :grinning:

    Hint #1: Shipping West (by latitude).
    Hint #2: Target state is named after a historical figure.
    Hint #3: Target has never been my official target in any previous BIF (NBS or otherwise).
    Hint #4: I have not visited every US states, but I have visited at least one state for every first letter used (if that makes sense; e.g. if I have not visited New Mexico, then I have at least set foot in one of the other states that starts with the letter N) .... except one. My target not only does not reside in a state starting with that one letter, but lives in a state starting with the same letter (or is possibly the same state) as one I have visited within the past 12 months.

    OK, I've eliminated two of yinz as my senders and a couple of you as my target with hint #1.

    Hint 1: I'm shipping further west than I did in BIF 6, and further west than my sender in BIF 6.

    Hint 2: I’m shipping east of my targets in BIFs 1, 2, 3. (I think - BIF 3 for sure.)

    I'm going to try to skip the directional hints this time and try something different. This may make it extremely easy for the target or may be difficult, we'll see.

    Hint 1: There are two large cities in my target's state that everyone from out of state has heard of. And maybe one smaller one due to a TV show. My target doesn't technically live in any of these but is less than half an hour from the center of one of them.

    Hint #5, though unnecessary at this point. Or is it?

    My target is not receiving this beer (which I'm currently drinking):

    [​IMG]

    ... but is getting some from this brewery, who happens to share at least 5 letters (brewery and beer name) in their user name.

    If that doesn't make it completely obvious, I don't know what does.

    Or not.

    I'm starting to think we should have called this round "The Obfuscating Nonsensical Hints #10".

    Since I know the answer, let me just say this: damn, I'm glad I don't have to figure out your, and several others, hints.

    Y'all some confusing bastards.

    To be fair, Hint #4 was designed to be perfectly accurate, and yet totally unhelpful. :grinning:
