Contest Over!
Wow - I'm surprised there weren't more guesses! Too bad, since we have a way cool prize...
Upon finding Jim at NEARFest, I went to instantly measure his height with a scientific precision second only to the Apollo Moon Landings. Using a laser interferometer that flew in with me from Kansas, I proceeded to duct tape Jim to a nearby column at the Zoellner Arts Center. I locked his neck into place, while giving something for him to bite down onto.
"Don't worry," I told Jim, "This will measure your height precisely. Just don't move. Man, I'd hate to think what would happen if you moved.. This thing usually cuts planes in half at the Boeing factory where I live."
He looked a little nervous. "Can't I just tell you how tall I am instead?"
Truth be told, I'd never thought of that! That's much easier than shaving his head!
"I guess. So, what is it?"
"5 foot 10.5"
So, there you have it! And the winner is... (drumroll)
ThomasJedenfelt with 179 cm, which is right on the nose (or head)! Thomas wins a deck of Roger Dean playing cards autographed by Roger Dean himself!!
Thanks for playing, and keep an eye out for more ludicrious contests!
