Default Our Coolest Giveaway Yet: Guess The Vest!

I've been taking a bit of ribbing lately from people who are obviously jealous of how snazzy I look in my SCOTTeVEST clothes. I take all of the jokes in good fun, but I think we do need to clarify one point. I have been accused of having "thousands" of pockets among all of my duds, and that's clearly an exaggeration (at least I think it is). So, in order to put that exaggeration to rest once and for all, I think we need to have a contest to see who can guess how many TOTAL pockets I have among ALL of my SCOTTeVEST items.



First, here are the rules:

• To enter the contest, simply post your guess to this thread.
• Each reader may enter only ONE guess.
• All posts must be made prior to 1:00am PST on October 10, 2004.
• The winning entry will be the one that comes closest to the total number of pockets I have among all of my SCOTTeVEST items WITHOUT GOING OVER the actual number.
• In the event that there is a tie for the winning estimate, the estimate with the earliest post date and time (including any edits made by the poster) will be declared the winner.

Second, here are a few hints and bits of advice:

• The number of pockets for each item should be taken from this chart. A few items not on this list have detailed descriptions elsewhere on the SCOTTeVEST site.
• To figure out which SCOTTeVEST articles I own, it might help to search Pocket PC Thoughts for articles and reviews I've written about them.
• I do NOT own every item in the SCOTTeVEST product line.
• I do NOT own every item for which I've written a review.
• Even if you've posted a guess, be sure to check back to this thread; I may continue to give a few hints.
• The decisions of the judge (me) are final.
• I reserve the right to change the rules at any time, especially if doing so makes the contest more complicated.
• Whining IS permitted for this giveaway, but all whining must be submitted to me in writing prior to the launch of this contest.

Like most giveaways, the prize going to the winner is the BEST part! The winner of this little contest will receive a brand new SCOTTeVEST Classic vest of any size or color! How's THAT for a contest?

Another Hint: I have a total of 11 SCOTTeVEST items!

So does that mean we can edit our answer if we want?
