******Guess and win a G100 Grex******

[acondit]

I counted 2,500,0001.  (Hmmm, I must of missed 5 hiding down at the bottom of the pile so make that 2,500,006.)
Oh, no, their must have been more hiding, so make that 2,507,006.

two million + stone cold + a magnum = 2,316,357

2,070,680

2,800,000

I'd ask my engineer friend but he's always off by at least .1   

So here goes.
2,285,391

[PerE]

My guess is 2.763.870

Well I just spent the last half hour adding up all the entries and finding the average and it was wrong ! then I computed all the feeds and speeds with the mass removed at two flutes per 24ipm but since they were'nt being productive with such a light chipload ! that calculation was obviously wrong too ! So .... 2 plus hint plus hint = 2,673,600 just has to be the correct answer !   Almost forgot "Thanks Benny" the checks on its way !
    AHA ! the task is impossible !  1) stated find exact number of chips in photo ! 2) could only be done with a mathmatical calc 3) calc at best would only be an estimation 4) calc would be for total of all chips absolute except that calc would include time cutter was entering or leaving matr'l leaving answer eroneous 5) The only answer that would be even remotely possible is the one that has been selected and settled upon as "The correct answer" 6) That means that we are not trying to guess the number of chips in photo but the answer that has been selected and aggreed upon ! 7) Benny ! I had to cancell the check !
So my guess for the agreed upon winning number would have to be ......... 2,673,686 +/- <326,394>
