    My Points Mother's Day Giveaway

    Has anyone else noticed the correct number is ALWAYS the second highest? I've guessed wrong twice, and both times I deviated from the second to highest number.

    I don't think this is always the case. I've been doing the soccer balls, and the number is always in the low 200's. Not even near to the highest number.

    Ok, that's weird... I did the soccer balls and it was the second highest. I think you are going to be right no matter what.

    I just did the soccer balls. The answer was 227, which was the lowest number in the list. I have gotten a wrong answer on some days.

    I usually do the dogs, but this morning did the food and yesterday I did the bags of groceries. I think the only one I haven't tried so far is the kid. The time I tried the soccer balls may have been one of the times I guessed incorrectly. I do the contest for my account and my sister's everyday and have guessed correctly all but the two times for both accounts, and the right answer has always been the second to highest number.

    Is yours consistently the lowest or second to lowest? I'm wondering if maybe they've just pre-assigned the answers to the account - like the two I do happen to be second to highest, maybe yours is always going to be lowest or second to lowest and maybe someone else will always have the highest number...?

    It could just be a very strange coincidence, but I thought it was worth mentioning just in case.

    I have done the soccer balls every time. I have guessed the lowest number and it has been right each time. My DH and I were just talking about it last night. He has tried picking different items and numbers and has always guessed right. I never thought to ask him if he was picking a high or low number.

    I did the dogs on my sister's account this AM, and the soccer balls on my account.... I picked the second to highest number for both and both times it said that was the correct answer.

    I guess we should just be grateful that they are being generous. :-)

    I usually play random things. I almost always guess the highest and get it right.
