I so don't know what the question is, that I'm going to say 162 miles.

That's ok, I don't really know what she is asking either. Never heard of a "rerurn" I was thinking that it's some sort of a marathon, but I just cann't see Uli running 26 miles, so I guessed 12, a little less than half the official distance.

So new guess 26 miles 385 yard?

... I wanted to give the win to John, but he hasn't been seen.


I'm back! Sorry to have missed all the action - my DSL connection at home has been borked since last Thursday, and I had no web access over the weekend. My ISP, Telkom, is colloquially known as Hellkom - need I say more?

Thanks for the win, Angela, and thanks for stepping into the breach, uli! (BTW, I chose March because it's my birthday month! Such an intellectual guess.)

I'm going BIG here. 2426 miles. (It's a long way from Stockton to da Bronx.)

26... Carlos
162 Miep
500 Chris S
750 James Sotherden

These guesses are way to low

2426 John Neale

Now this is warm

6733 John McLeod

Thanks for the compliment and I would help someone overseas in a heartbeat. It was within the continental US thou.


Yes this is withregards to a Tax Return.
So to make it clearer.
What is the distance from my desk to the client?
Or how much did it cost?
Or how much was my commission?

If you are give or take 10 off, in any category, you are an automatic winner.
