You can make your guess at any time between now and when we arrive at the hospital for the birth.
Points will be awarded as follows:
~Correct guess - 2 points - Per category, to any and all people that guess it
~Closest guess - 1 point - If there are no correct guesses in any particular category, to any and all closest guesses
~Better Than Half bonus - Reggie's birth "day-of-week" in points (Sunday = 1 point, Monday = 2 points, etc.) - Awarded if you receive at least one point in exactly three categories
~Great Guesser bonus - Reggie's birth month in points (March = 3 points, April = 4 points, etc.) - Awarded if you receive at least one point in exactly four categories
~Got 'em All bonus - Reggie's birth date in points (April 15 = 15 points, April 20 = 20 points, etc.) - Awarded if you receive at least one point in every category
~The Random bonus - Reggie's birth hour in points (we work on a 12-hour clock; none of that 24-hour military time) - Awarded to one randomly chosen guesser: each guesser will receive a number (in order of guesses) and I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner.
I've made a table listing all the pertinent information I could remember; if you think I forgot something, let me know and I'll add it.

ReplyDeleteApril 1, Boy (because Olivia is a girl) 7:30P.M.(his bedtime of course)6lbs. (maybe even less, yes, 6 or less pounds) 25in (measured with his fingers over a space of about 18 in. It should be up to here he said indicating the distance from my fingertips to my elbow.)
The explanations are much appreciated for these guesses. His logic isn't bad. :)
