NoobtoSalt Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I think the obvious choice would be the chalice. I've already sent a message in to Kim a few days ago banking on me winning. I have offered up a piece of the chalice for auction with all proceeds going to the club. (clap) bid away. And come visit frankenfrag for free now that the contest is over.

I know Kris so did the other people who didn't quite get to the 1mm mark. It's just hard to get an accurate measurement with the 1/2 mm increments.

Kris Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 No what I am saying is if you look at my picture its start was 11mm and end was 16mm for +5mm. I guess it was my bad I added the point(.) in my measurement sorry for the confusion on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 YO EMERALD525 I admitted my measurement was wrong; While mive is 10mm close to 11mm and final 17mm close to 18mm Net growth 7mm Granted there was a misspelling but I thought that you could understand simple math. So now that I have stepped up and admitted that I was wrong and it was not 19mm but was just what I posted above its your turn to do the same and admit you too where wrong-and actually if your ruler was not tilted backward your measurement would be even less, but thats irrelevant I'll let you borrow the primer too for the next GO. Its ok Kim, I know it may be hard saying your wrong but facts are facts, leave the emotions out of it (nono) LOSER (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
