Mishugas: Time is Money – Part 3
by David K. Israel - December 14, 2007 - 9:00 AM

timemoney copy.jpg

If you’re just joining us, we’re in the middle of a serialized video contest giving you the chance to win $25 toward WHATEVER YOU WANT in our store. Yes, just in time for that last minute holiday shopping, we’re giving you the chance to spend OUR money any way YOU want and all you have to do is invest a little time in our TIME IS MONEY contest.

To repeat the rules from Wednesday’s episode:
As you’ll see in the video, I have a bank shaped like an hourglass. Your job is to guess how many pennies it will hold as I fill it up a little each day. You get THREE guesses per post. (EACH GUESS MUST BE IN A SEPARATE COMMENT).

Seeing as there’s a good chance two or more of you will guess the same amount, whoever slaps the correct answer down first takes the prize. So go ahead and make a guess based on the photo on the face of the video player, or click play and watch me count them out for a more educated guess. (Hint: You might consider reviewing yesterday’s video for an even more educated guess. And feel free to drop 3 in that post, too, if you haven’t already.)
