OK, I really hate to do this, but I think we need a recount and some clarification.

From the rules, referenced in the original post:

To submit entries, use this form:

Top shelf, boxes will be counted from back left to front right. Stack 1 is the leftmost and Stack 4 is the rightmost stack:

1. Stack 1 top
2. Stack 1 bottom
3. Stack 2 top
4. Stack 2 bottom
5. Stack 3 top
6. Stack 3 bottom
7. Stack 4 back top
8. Stack 4 back bottom
9. Stack 4 front

Bottom shelf, same. back to front, left to right.

1. Stack 1 back
2. Stack 1 front
3. Stack 2 back top
4. Stack 2 back middle
5. Stack 2 back bottom
6. Stack 2 front
7. Stack 3 back top
8. Stack 3 back middle top
9. Stack 3 back middle bottom
10. Stack 3 back bottom
11. Stack 3 front

and the point allocation is as follows:

2 points if you get the brand, size and wrapper
1 point if you get the brand and size but miss the wrapper
1/2 point if you get the brand but miss the size

So using this format for referance:

~~~~~~~~~
Item number. correct answer - [Person's initials: person's guess - points given (points deserved)]

My in-line comments
~~~~~~~~~

here are my totals, with the guesses taken directly from the person's original posts, with comments in-line:


Top shelf, back to front - left to right.

1. Himingway Classic - [GC: Hemi Classic - 2 (2)] - [KB: Hemi Classic - 2 (2)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic - 2 (2)]

All correct - 2 points each

2. Opus X Robusto - [GC: Opus Perfexion #5 - 2 (2)] - [KB: Opus X FF 2 - .5 (.5)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Opus X Fuente Fuente - .5 (.5)]

All had the right brand, wrong size although the wrapper part seems a given (how many people have ever even seen a different wrapper for these - I think the rarity would rule that part out, but it's not my call) - half point each

3. Casa Fuente Corona Gorda - [GC: Opus FF - 0 (0)] - [KB: Opus X #4 - 0 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfexion #5 - 0 (0)]

All wrong, but this does set a precedence - although all three wrong guesses are from the same parent company, none are from the same brand line, therefore any cross-line guess from here on should not be given the half point for guessing the brand. - 0 points each

4. Anejo #50 - [GC: Hemi Best Seller - 0 (0)] - [KB: Work of Art - 1 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Añejo No. 46 - 1 (.5)]

GC wrong, zero points - KB should not have gotten a point, not the same brand - IR should have gotten half point for having the brand correct but the wrong size

5. WOAM - [GC: WOAM - 2 (2)] - [KB: Cheateau fuente - 1 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente WOAM - 2 (2)]

GC got the correct brand, size, and wrapper, 2 points - KB should not have gotten a point, not the same brand - IR got the correct brand, size, and wrapper, 2 points

6. Chateaux Fuente Sun Grown - [GC: Chateau Fuente SG - 2 (2)] - [KB: Don Carlos Robusto - .5 ()] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Sun Grown - 2 (2)]

GC got the correct brand, size, and wrapper, 2 points - KB should not have gotten a point, not the same brand - IR got the correct brand, size, and wrapper, 2 points

7. Don Carlos #3 - [GC: Don Carlos Presidente - .5 (.5)] - [KB: Don Carlos Robusto - .5 (.5)] - [IR: Don Carlos Presidente - .5 (.5)]

All had the correct brand, wrong size - half point each

8. Don Carlos #3 - [GC: Hemi Classic - 0 (0)] - [KB: Punch Cab - .5 (0)] - [IR: Ashton Cabinet No. 6 - 0 (0)]

All had the wrong answers, KB should not have gotten any points on this (completely wrong answer), and as mentioned in #3 even though it's the same parent company, GC & IR's answers are not from the same brand so they get zero points.

9. Punch Punch 50 cab - [GC: Punch SS2 - .5 (.5)] - [KB: No Answer - 0 (0)] - [IR: Punch Cab - .5 (.5)]

GC half point, KB wrong, IR half point no problems here


Bottom shelf, back to front - left to right.


1. LFD Limitado - [GC: LG Diez - 0 (0)] - [KB: Don't know... - 0 (0)] - [IR: LG Diez - 0 (0)]

All worng, no points (GC and IR have the same parent company, wrong brand line as mentioned in #3 above)

2. Opus X A master box - [GC: Forbidden X Lancero - 0 (.5)] - [KB: Opus X A - 2 (2)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Opus X Forbidden X Petit Lancero - 0 (.5)]

KB correct, 2 points. GC and IR have the correct brand, worng size - should have gotten a half point each

3. WOAM - [GC: Padron 3000 maddie - 0 (0)] - [KB: 858 - 0 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente 858 nat - 0 (0)]

All worng, no points (see #3 above/top shelf)

4. WOAM - [GC: Padron 3000 maddie - 0 (0)] - [KB: Short Story - 0 (.5)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente 858 nat - 0 (0)]

GC was wrong, no points - KB had the correct brand line, worng size - should have half a point - IR was wrong, no points (see #3 above/top shelf)

5. WOAM - [GC: Hemi Short Story - .5 (.5)] - [KB: Untold Story - 0 (.5)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente 858 mad - 0 (0)]

GC had the correct brand line, wong size, half a point - KB had the correct brand line, worng size, should have half a point - IR was wrong, no points (again, see #3 above/top shelf)

6. Untold Story - [GC: Hemi Untold Story - 2 (2)] - [KB: LG Diez Americano - 2 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Untold Story - 2 (2)]

GC was correct, 2 points - KB was wrong, should have received no points - IR was correct, 2 points.

7. Litto Gomez Diez Americano - [GC: LG Diez - .5 (.5)] - [KB: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (0)] - [IR: Litto Gomez Lucitano Toro - .5 (.5)]

GC had the correct brand, no size, half point - KB was wrong, should have received no points - IR had the correct brand, wrong size, half point

8. CAO Anaconda - [GC: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)] - [KB: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)] - [IR: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)]

All correct, 2 points each.

9. CAO Anaconda - [GC: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)] - [KB: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)] - [IR: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)]

All correct, 2 points each.

10. CAO Anaconda - [GC: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)] - [KB: Platinum Forbidden X DVD Set - 2 (0)] - [IR: CAO Brazilia Anaconda - 2 (2)]

GC was correct, 2 points - KB was wrong, should have received no points - IR was correct, 2 points

11. Opus X Forbidden Platinum set - [GC: Opus X Forbidden X Ashtray Gift Set - .5 (1)] - [KB: No ANswer - 2 (0)] - [IR: Prometheus Opus X Forbidden X Platinum DVD Set - 2 (2)]

GC was correct on the cigar, but the packageing (I guess you could consider this the 'wrapper' for this item) was incorrect, ahould have received 1 point - KB did not answer this and should have received any points - IR was correct, 2 points



By my tally:

- GC got 17 points, but should have 18 points
- KB got 20 points, but should have 10.5 points
- IR got 19 points, and should have 19 points
- OD received 13.5 points, however he posted things out of order, admittedly, and did not follow the proper form so technically should be disqualified. Judgement call.



If these point totals are declared correct by an independent panel and I become the winner, I think it's only fair that since KB was initially given the win that I split the winning with him. I think maybe doing a draft style choice of the winnings, Me first, then KB, then Me, etc. until all are spoken for, would be an easy, fair, and fun way to do this. Of course, you can just tell me to STFU and I'll be quiet

If you will notice in my count of KayakinBoy's guesses, there are only 8 in the top shelf, when there should be 9. Him and OutlawD both got mixed up in listing the boxes. I could be a nit and judge solely on corresponding numbers, but I decided to cut these guys some slack.

KBs top shelf should be:

1. 2
2. .5
3. 0
4. 0
5. 1
6. 1
7. .5
8. .5
9. .5

 

[Inthacup]

Edited top shelf:

4. Anejo #50 - [GC: Hemi Best Seller - 0 (0)] - [KB: No Guess- 0 (0)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Añejo No. 46 - 1 (.5)]

5. WOAM - [GC: WOAM - 2 (2)] - [KB: Work of Art- 1 (1)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente WOAM - 2 (2)]

6. Chateaux Fuente Sun Grown - [GC: Chateau Fuente SG - 2 (2)] - [KB: Cheateau fuente - .5 (.5)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Sun Grown - 2 (2)]

7. Don Carlos #3 - [GC: Don Carlos Presidente - .5 (.5)] - [KB: Don Carlos Robusto - .5 (.5)] - [IR: Don Carlos Presidente - .5 (.5)]

8. Don Carlos #3 - [GC: Hemi Classic - 0 (0)] - [KB: Don Carlos Robusto- .5 (.5)] - [IR: Ashton Cabinet No. 6 - 0 (0)]

9. Punch Punch 50 cab - [GC: Punch SS2 - .5 (.5)] - [KB: Punch Cab - .5 (.5)] - [IR: Punch Cab - .5 (.5)]

Bottom Shelf:

2. Opus X A master box - [GC: Forbidden X Lancero - 0 (.5)] - [KB: Opus X A - 2 (2)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Opus X Forbidden X Petit Lancero - 0 (.5)]

KB correct, 2 points. GC and IR have the correct brand, worng size - should have gotten a half point each

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Forbidden X is a different brand than Opus X. That's why I didn't award any points for those guesses.


As for the bottom shelf, the same applies to KB as in the top shelf. He left one out, so I gave him a 0 for the one he missed and moved on.

If one of the rules up front was that your numbers HAD to match the numbers I listed in the first post, then I would agree with you here. But, I created that list so that it would be easier for me to match up guesses with boxes. IMO, this is a matter of common sense. If KB will concede that he thought that 10. Stack 3 back bottom was a Platinum Forbidden X DVD Set, then I will apologize, change the points and award a new winner.

Cup, do it your way Bro. No need to explain yourself. Tell IR to STFU and he'll be quiet.

 

[Inthacup]

IgwanaRob, STFU!! lol

 

[IgwanaRob]

Like I said, just wanted clarification. KB gets the win. Thanks again for the contest, it was definately fun and educational trying to ID the boxes (most of which I've never even seen, but used the pics of his drawer to help).

Commecning the S'ing TFU now

 

[IgwanaRob]

2. Opus X A master box - [GC: Forbidden X Lancero - 0 (.5)] - [KB: Opus X A - 2 (2)] - [IR: Arturo Fuente Opus X Forbidden X Petit Lancero - 0 (.5)]

KB correct, 2 points. GC and IR have the correct brand, worng size - should have gotten a half point each

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Forbidden X is a different brand than Opus X. That's why I didn't award any points for those guesses.

DOH! You can guess who's post I initially copied as a reference when I guessed :laugh:

 

[Schwiering]

Congrats to KB on being the closest. Sorry that more of you guys didn't give this a shot. Thanks Cup for putting on this contest.
