LACE RAK WINNER!!


ARRRRGH!!! (my head!!!)

I explained in a previous post how NOT maths I am!!!

I cant believe the math lesson I've just put myself though!! LOL!!

ANd because Julie wasnt available to run through her math brain, I had to call in my dh!!



The exact amount wasnt guessed....



And to make things VERY difficult, one guess was just under in inches and the other just over in cms!!



So which was closer???



ARGH again LOL!!!



The winner wins by 0.1 inch!!!!! point one of an inch!!!! (converted of course)

Can you imagine this non-math brain working this out!



But because I had to go through such a process- you all have to read what I had to doooooo!!!
(Yes you doooooooooooo!!! heh heh)


OKAY......



The exact amount was 195inches and I was just going to round it off to 495cms (495.3cms)
(I was sooooooo sure that someone would guess either!!! Easy right!!)
Then I was converting feet and yards!! But that was okay...I managed that with an internet converter.
Anyway.........

We had the two guesses being


193 inches and 500cms (aaaaaaaah yes you know who you are.... yes you doooooo!!!!!!) teehee


I had to dooooooooo the right thing and get the conversion exact


195inches - 495.3cms to be fair!


If I didnt then the 193 inches would win - and being exact means that 5oocms wins!!


One was under by 2inches and one was over by 1.9inches!!


Yes I had to do this with my dh!!!!
(He couldnt believe the mess I'd gotten into with it LOL!!)



Sooooooooooooooo


THE WINNER IS........................


CASSANDRA!!! (500cms - over by 1.9inches)


and because I'd feeeeeel toooooooo awful that
POLLIE (193inches - under by 2inches)
missed out by 0.1 of an inch...


I'm sending her off a little Lace RAK just because!!!

Thanks so much everyone joining in the fun!!!!!
And being such good sports.......
AND Julie will be back later

another
fab game!!!!

Jane, I just went through the three posts because for a moment somehow with the maths dithering, I though I may have missed you....
but you guessed 190 inches... almost there!!

Jane said...

So sorry Mandy, that is what I meant to put, that I was so close to the 193 inches that won, I'm so sorry to have put you to extra trouble, looks like I have typing dithering! I deleted my first comment as I put it wrong first time too. So terribly sorry, hugs, Jane xx

pollie said...

Congrats Cassandra....and thanks Mandy for offering this...it was great fun and I love your blog!

cassandra2491 said...

Congrats to Pollie and also to everyone who entered. It was a lot of fun, however very confusing and it's not easy trying to guess how many and all the different measurements to convert (poor Mandy) - I don't understand inches, feet, etc. so I was just taking a stab in the dark. Can't wait for the postie and I'll see everyone with the next RAK.

Thanks again everyone:)
