low
Time for a new hint!
So the score up to now:
Carlos: 18 second 10
John: 17
Uli: 13 second 9
We all know that we had two kinds of tomato.
So Carlos is high then low, john is stuck at high.
Uli is high then low, if 13 is high, and 10 is low what is next?

You are sneaky, sliding a sunflower in there. I am sure you are growing other food plants, but might consider them weeds.

If you can get to the seeds before the birds you bake em' in the oven. Long Sufferin' Marie knows how to do it. We have dill weed, but I didn't put it in, here it is a weed. We don't use it.
This year we have a sunflower over seven feet tall, so we will re-plant those seeds next year. That is nowhere near the record, but still the best we have ever done. The potatoes come out next week.

10K is 10,000 a year Mike. I think you are out by a factor of 10. Do you want me to accept 570K ?


Yep, sorry.
Missed a zero then.

Well My guess based on your facts would be 485,000 miles.

I consider that very low. I had one car, a BMW, that I drove to 780,000 before I sold it. Your question got me thinking about how many miles I have driven in my life time. I have been driving since I was 11. By 14 I could drive a big rig and helped my dad in his trucking business. Most of my life I have gotten reimbursed or paid for miles traveled. So I keep records for ever mile driven since about 1980. Before that, except for big rig time, my records are not as good. But I did compile them. So in my 44 years of driving I have logged 1.9 million miles. Almost 4 times my guess for you.

I re-did it, my new guess is
670,000 miles.
Or do I only get one guess?
