I forgot, as I get to set the rules for this round, there are no limits to the number of guesses a person can have.

Given that non limit, I was tempted to list every number between 96 and 103 in this post but that wouldn't be in the spirit of things.
However, since i've just mentioned them, i'll have to pick one;

96

Celt you only need a tiebreaker, if two people get the right answer.

I will do my best in Michael's stead; don't work to hard sir.

I will use Celt's idea, kinda.
I too collected movies, however I will ask this:

How many VHS tapes do I have?

Some are store bought, most were recorded from PPV.
Also, most have two movies per tape. I also have some now classic
and memorable TV episodes recorded. Of course, I no longer use
VHS to record and being spoiled buy the quality of DVD,
I am now stuck with all these VHS tapes.


Buona fortuna a tutti !
