lol, I'm sorry, but there was a secret $1,000 prize for the closest guess. However since you have admitted to cheating you must forfeit said prize.

Just out of curiosity, where is your friend from who mentioned it? I'm curious how folks from other areas feel about this. I'm rather annoyed at the whole situation for a number of reasons.

The University is very proud of their work though and seem to think it was a quarter-million well spent.
