Guess the number of can marbles.  These marbles were extracted from the Krylon and Rustoleum cans I use to paint my boomerangs.  Most cans have marbles to agitate the paint and activate the propellant.  The marbles are glass, and my wife will not allow me to throw away a can without getting the marble out.  She has a collection of approximately 1000 marbles.  I started collecting them for her shortly after we got married.  This bowl of marbles was taken from cans collected over about a two-year period.  We wait until I have a number of them collected, then we have an extraction party.

The person who gets closest to the exact number of marbles will win a free boomerang.  You must specify whether you are right- or left-handed.  If you guess the EXACT number, you will get an extra boomerang.  In case of a tie, all winners will receive a prize.  If there is only one winner, the second closest guess will also win a boomerang (of slightly less value.)

The last entry will be accepted on April 15, 2008.  Winner(s) will be announced on Boomerang Talk
