With a low guess of 164 and a high guess of 729, that's a pretty big range to play with yet. I will give a clue then, it's somewhere between those two.

How about one for each day of 2008 = 366 corks.

Just out of curiosity why 5:43 pm? As opposed to 5:44pm for instance?

John, I have no idea where you got 2 months from, it's more like 2 years (see earlier in this thread), almost entirely corks with branding on them, the others go for earlier re-cycling via a local retailer who collects them for craft people etc.
With tastings, dinners etc where I keep some/all of the corks I'd certainly average more than one cork per day.

Thank you very much for your generosity Red Bigot, I am already greatly in debt to you for the wine knowledge and tips you give both here and on your site. I have not yet had either of these wines so send which ever you like and know that I will savour it.
For anyone like me who spent too much time thinking about this game here is my equation
