Last Week's Results
The revisionist fairy tale Snow White and the Huntsman proved to be a potent force at the weekend box office, handily sinking last week's #1 film Men in Black 3. Against Prometheus next weekend, I think Snow White will probably drop mightily.

Did it from my phone this week. Not recommended

Also, my simple mind struggles with the different guess ranges.
I am always having to look at the rules
For future contests, I recommend:
>50: 5M
47.5 – 25: 2.5
24 – 10: 1.0
9.5 – 5: 0.5
4.9 – 1: 0.1
0.9>: 0.1
I’ve always had a mathematical mind
Take it with a grain of salt. But the increment
Is always 10% of the low number of its respective range for
Anything higher than 1M. It would be easier
For me, maybe not others. Just my two cents. Not trying to
Tell you how to operate, this just makes more sense to me
Itherwise, fun time. Thank you
