I have constructed a poor mans Cuban pyramid from old cigar boxes.
What is the height of the Cuban Pyramid? Only one guess per UKCF member.

Entries to be in by 09.00 on Wednesday 3rd June.

If there is a draw, then the person who has posted their winning guess first will win.

Prize; 1x Montecristo No2.
1x Partagas P No2.
1x Vegas robaina Unicos.

Good luck to everyone.

[Kdot]

I'm going to hazzard a guess at 180.5cm

[whisky77]

ummm... the light switch is a rough guide, but I think 189cm or am i too late....

Plenty of time ACMCC, but your one guess is now logged for all to see.:der:

[PoohBore]

The electrician who wired my house must have had a bit of his tape measure broken off cause they are only a metre off the floor !:eek:

Hope it's at the regulation height as that's what I based my guess on...along with trigonometry and a bit of tolerance for perspective :tongue:

Not a ferkin clue to be honest with you Stevieboy, the builder wore a Stetson if that`s a help!

[Stevieboy]

[ACMCC]

[Major_Tom]

187cm, my guess. If your lightswitch is the same height as mine!

[Mr Moore]

179.4 cm
good comp whiskey.

[Boss Hog]

After digitally enhancing the photo, printing it off on 15 sheets of A4 paper and sticking up against my wall I reckon on 164.5cm if you dont mind.

[Giulio]

I think it is 1.49m .......now I have to remove all the boxes from my wall :p

[Deano]

1.72cm from me, it looks about my height!

Great compo whiskey!

[Robusto]

This is a fantastic competition, Whisky.

Has anyone asked earlier if you were pissed up on singlemalt when you made your special tower there?

Mine's a Glenlivet, mate! :biggrin1:

[daverave999]

I dunno. No tape measure so I'm going for 190cm.

Thanks for the competition!

Sober as a judge Robusto.If you think the construction of the tower is dodgy, you should see my patio!:eek:

[linfield100]

[ACMCC]

[cohibaIV]

Me thinks 170cm:p

[cj121]

169.5cm this end Mr. Whisk

That's an educated guess there mate, and verrrry close to mine ya bugger:smoke::smoke::smoke:

The heat is rising:p

[Stogiedog]

Whisky, in the jar, looks like I am coming in a bit late with my theodolite survey of a guess: 182cms.
:rolleyes:

Plenty of time left Stogiedog.Thanks for your guess.Will let this run over the weekend until everyone has had a chance to have some input.

There is a clear contender at the moment who is within a spit of the actual height, but you never know, he could get pipped at the post.:biggrin1:

[Stevieboy]

he could get pipped at the post.:biggrin1:

so....it's a 'he' !! That narrows things down :p

[whisky77]

so....it's a 'he' !! That narrows things down :p

Not only that, but he smokes Cuban cigars and he lives in the UK.
:p

Tease:eviltongue::p:biggrin1:

[whisky77]

I think most of the regular members have had a guess.Will leave the competition open until this evening and then announce the winner tomorrow.:eek:

If you have not had a guess then get your skates on!

One clear winner at the moment, but there`s still time.

[Stevieboy]

Well?......:smoke:

[cj121]

Well?......:smoke:

When was it you said you popped 'round Whisk's house and he had all those old boxes out Stevie:p?

[nicwing]

I take it this is that - "and the winner is................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................................" type delay so beloved of what has become the reality of TV these days, I thought we were above all that buggering about here:rolleyes:

Cute new picky BTW Stevieboy, is that the new face of Drewmidorm?

[cj121]

If the weather's still good up Whisk's way, he'll be schmoking away on a fat one possibly.

[Robusto]

What's the betting this was all a con?
A sort of cigar boxes in Legoland scandal for the smaller man?...
Cigars like hair clips in Dinky Toy boxes?...

My new guess is 17.4cm.

[cj121]

A bit like these ones

A fat one indeed CJ.UNICOS this morning in the garden, 24 degrees here yesterday and just as nice this morning.Absolutely glorious.:smoke:

[nicwing]

and..

[whisky77]

Without further ado, the winer is Boss Hog:eek:.

No idea how you managed that Boss, the actual height was 164, so your guess was the closest by far.

Congradulations mate and thanks to everyone else who had a guess.

Wow!! I'm shocked.
I have to admit it was the light switch that did it for me, which gave me a good head start.

Funny enough My answer was only going to be 164 but I stuck the .5 on for fun

Your in the wrong business Boss, you should be in civil engineering or surveying.:biggrin1:

[whisky77]

Well done BH! And thanks for an excellent compo Whisky77.

Cheers mate.It will be August before I could have another competition, but I already have a few ideas and Nicwing may have planted a seed which i can work on.

Just means I will have to get the creative juices flowing for the next one.Oh the pressure!:der:

[daverave999]

Well done Boss! That's a keen eye you have there...

[Stevieboy]

Excellent, if somewhat insane, compo Craig.....you're obviously a man with waaaaaay too much time on his hands . Many thanks for the entertainment :rock::rock:

[Robusto]

Agreed.
This was an abstract art treat.
And spatial awareness is a male boy's masculine lad-chap's brain tickler.
We all had a a pop!
Thanks, Craig. :biggrin1:
