Saw a question as to multiple guesses. I did so and apologize if that was outside the boundaries.
I don't know what the rules are for sure.But don't fret it,just 1 guess per post until we know different.
FYI - I think what was said earlier in the thread was one guess per day, per knife. So, if no one has gotten it by the next day, you can make another guess. If someone does get it and posts another knife, then you can make another guess on the new game.
I'm not the referee - I'm just echoing what I understood the rules to be. But, hey, this is like "Calvinball" (from the Calvin & Hobbs comic) - make it up as ya go!

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe glennbad stated any rules when he started this game.
It was suggested later by another to limit guesses.
I'm sure he meant this to be fun, so I say make as many guesses as you want.

I don't see anything wrong with making multiple guesses, as long as you wait for the poster to shoot down your guess before making another guess. (which everyone is already doing!)
Glad to see everyone is having fun with this!

That eliminates most of my other New England guesses!
But it does narrow things down a good bit.
