    I like the "symmetry" of that 3333 guess, but it is almost certainly going to be low. I posted some pictures in this DP thread that might be helpful.

    I hope to finish putting up the lights this weekend, so get your guesses in the next few days and I'll call a winner pretty soon.

    Update: Here's a picture of what it looks like tonight. This is probably close to 4,000 lights and I still have the upper icicles to go, so you definately want to go higher than that with your guess.

    OK guys, it's raining like a mother here in Colorado (should have snow on the ground Monday morning), but I didn't make any progress this weekend - it was my anniversary, so spent some time with the wifeee - no kids - yippeee!

    I should close out this contest and award that PR7 link (remember it HAS to be family friendly - see the first post) ... so I'll announce a winner Monday night (i.e. less than 24 hours from when this post goes up) by counting the number of lights I have up and adding in the ones left I plan to put out. Whoever is closer (doesn't matter if you go over) gets that PR7 link.

    I've repeated the "fine print below" - said 3 guesses were allowed. BTW, there are 4,000 lights up NOW, with the upper deck icicles still to be placed ... so you guys need to go higher ...

    4642 is my 3rd guess. Does this mean all 3 guesses would be valid or just the last 1? lol

    That's a lot of posts. I'd feel bad if you had to go through all of them. I guessed the number correctly so that should save you some time.
