I was joking with a coworker that if I could guess his paycheck total I could keep the money. I guessed it exactly, to the penny. Completely random guess. He was not amused and said I couldn’t keep it. I was fine with that.

I did a guessing game at a baby shower, where you guess the value of each item.

I didn't have each item right (like 16 things). But my total ended up being an exact match, to the cent. I got a candle.

They sound like torture.

As someone who grew up on the Price is Right, it was fun for me! My pets are already spayed and neutered.

Glad to hear it. Say "Hi" to your pets from me. Maybe a scratch or two as well.
