R/GBOTS Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) The prize: one of the newest Hobo coins from last Saturday's event GC170JZ The question: What will be the Fahrenheit temperature inside my truck when I get off work tonight? (sometime between 2100 and 2400 hrs. mountain time) A few rules: 1. temp must be in Fahrenheit degrees to one decimal point. ex: xx.x °F 2. closest guess without going over will be the winner (my decision) 3. only one guess per GC account holder. 4. contest will end, and no more guesses accepted, when I post "I'm home" or midnight (mountain time) whichever comes first. That's should be it. Pretty easy. A few helpful items: It would help to know where I live (not too hard). My work is less than 5 miles from home. The truck will be parked in an open, uncovered, parking lot, away from any building. I'll take the temp reading before starting the truck when I get off. (sometime between 9 PM and midnight) It's a typical December day, right now at 0945 the outside temp is 29.7 °F Any questions? I don't leave for a little while. After that, you're on your own and we'll just see how it goes. Good luck and I hope the truck starts. **Quick edit: to be fair to everyone, please don't edit to change answers. If there is a tie, the earlier post will be my pick. Edited December 11, 2007 by R/GBOTS Quote Link to comment

+PengoFamily Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Unless your including windchill... ? temp will be inside the truck so no windchill, unless someone breaks a window to steal my AM radio For cars windchill will not effect temperature readings like for this contest. It adds to thermal loss faster not the overall temperature. Edited December 11, 2007 by PengoFamily Quote Link to comment

+ChadsClan Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I think all the good guesses have been taken. So, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the thermometer in your truck is broken and it will read: 88.8 degrees F Quote Link to comment
