mac_shinobi Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I actually wanted to use a heavy rock to represent each guesser with a collection of small stones placed on top totalling your estimate. I would arrange these artfully in a local park and pop down there to add another whenever anyone made a guess, checking carefully that the number was not already gone by going round and counting each pile again. I wouldn't write your names on each boulder; instead I would memorise the shapes and sizes and associate that with my mental image of each contestant, reinforcing these connections with a careful inspection and meditation session each time I visited. THAT would be soooooooo Al at VeryPC. I say I was going to do the above, but then I thought: Nah, be quicker in Excel. Al Or you could use notepad or Excel ( if you wanted to stick to Excel ) and only make a note of the persons edugeek handle or name and what number they picked ( first number only ) and ignore any other numbers they posted ? An we shall call it "Al List"

VeryPC Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Hey, if you're a kinesthetic learner, so be it from us to insist you use technology. Embrace your learning style and be free (just a bit slow ) Ahem, the term, as you can see from the post above, is "progressing at a more graceful pace", and I'll thank you to remember that, Mr Lightspeed, 300,000,000 Supersonic Avenue, Quicksville, Bulletonia.
