I won too!!

After Krista won the bismuth crystal contest, I watched the next one and made a guess. Based on the dimensions given, I determined the volume (as best I could). Using the density at room temperature I was able to calculate a mass (not weight, write a comment if you know the difference). My result was 50 grams, even. I got an email the next day saying I won. I don't have it yet, but I will post a picture when it comes.

By the way, my guess was not the closest to the actual weight. It was dead on the actual weight so the contest ended early.
