I bet 100 carats, same as teevee, I have a feeling he knows exactly what size stone will turn up. Without suggesting the source of course. aj

Do you guys want my guess? I participated in this same type of game over on the Ashton thread about two years ago or whenever the ADP was in favour. I guessed 12 carats/100 tons just to get a reaction. Mine was the lowest prediction of them all and I still think I should have won. The actual grade came back at something like 16 carats/100 tons. The guy who won guessed 18 carats/100 tons. According to The Price is Right, I would have one because I guessed the closest without going over the "actual retail grade". I was really hoping to win. Even suggested that I would buy the prize. A t-shirt with the saying, "I bet the house on the Alberta Diamond Play, and all I got was this crummy T-shirt". Nobody Laughed. Anyways, put me down for 36 carats. Don't listen to me though. I'm just a novice investor. Rise

Rick, Unfortunately, I recently found out the Tahera plant is set up to recover a maximum size of 50 carats(has to do with primary crush size).....If the contest rules allow, I would like to change my guess to 47 carats. regards, teevee

Contest Standings: Here is a recap of the contest. If you send your guess or revisions to me I will make an effort to update it. Please send guesses by PM to save us some time. Just a reminder, I believe that TV said the crusher would only pass 30 carat diamonds. (TV verify please). Good luck. Prize yet to be determined, though we should lobby WSP for an "indian good" stone at least.
