The Summer Forecast: A Not-So-Modern Family

[American Eagle]

THE SUMMER FORECAST
The Lounge! | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Finale!

Yay! My stock prices did even better than expected! It finished at $22.34. I feel like Nathaniel Graham in Life Trials of the Rich and Famous. Monty gets 3 tickets for picking within two cents, while snubs, Knight Fisher and ~JCGJ~ get 1 ticket each for being within ten cents.


Week 9: How many people will show up for my family reunion on Saturday?
So, I like family reunions as much as the next guy, but there's not a lot you can do with great-grandparents and uncle joey in his wheelchair. At some point, I'll do a headcount and see how many people show up this year.

AE's Honest Estimate: 20-30 people.

• If you guess within 10 people, you'll get 1 ticket.
• If you guess within 4 people, you'll get 2 tickets.
• If you guess within 1 people, you'll get 3 tickets! (For example, if 20 people show up, then guesses of 19, 20 and 21 would be in this category.)

[Woody]

22 people

[Joy]

24

[Christian A.]

23 people.

[Marvin D.]

I say 25 persons!

[Sunshine]

Is there a reason that my name is both under the "5 Tickets" and the "6 Tickets" categories?

[snubs]

Hmm... 25.

[Jesus' Princess]

Do we get to know how many people are in your extended family?

Is there a reason for your critical attitude??

Hmm, I don't know why I didn't remove your name from 5 tickets when I added you to 6. (You received 1 point for the Spurs, 2 points for 93°F, 2 points for Despicable Me 2's $81M, and 1 point for the American League.) I'm allowed one hiccup per week.

Do we get to know how many people are in your extended family?

I honestly don't know how many people will show up. For sure, my immediate family (7 people), my grandparents (2), and some of my grandpa's siblings (approximately 6). I will guarantee that 15 people show up. Beyond that, I don't really know. Sometimes a lot of my cousins will decide to swing by, which brings the number into the twenties. If I was playing this game, I'd guess 25 people.

[bookworm]

21 people and a dog

[Monty]

I will go with 28.

[Shennifer]

27

[radgeek]

If AG guesses 25 I shall guess the same.

[Knight Fisher]

Are we allowed to bribe your siblings to influence the results?

Sarcasm taken lightly. ^.^ Thank you for checking on that - I wasn't quite sure what had happened.

I'll guess 26 people.
