Nachos Grande Presents a New Theme Week AND AN EASY (?) CONTEST!

It's time for another Theme Week here at Nachos Grande - and this time I return to the same theme that I've already featured twice:  Plain White Envelope Week (aka PWE Week).

Yes, the overabundance of goodies in my mailbox (in the form of a small white envelope) means I get to devote an entire week to the joys of one of the simplest forms of postal communication.

Since I want to share the love of the PWE with my readers, I also have a fairly easy contest to announce today!

The prize?  Why, a plain white envelope with some cards of the team of your choice!  Seems like a fitting reward.

Here's the deal:

I have SEVEN different PWEs that I want to showcase this week.  Your goal is to correctly guess the total sum of the seven ZIP CODES if I add the numbers together.  The winner will be the person who guesses a number that is the closest to the total sum without going over (ala Price is Right rules).

You get one guess on this post for free.  If you'd like a second guess, leave a plug for this little contest on your blog (with a link to this post on your blog - and a link to your blog entry in your comment on my blog).

Good luck - and as a point of clarification I'm only counting the first five digits of the zip code.  In other words, if you know your zip code as XXXXX-XXXX, I'm only counting the first five numbers.

One more hint since I like math puzzles.  Here are all the digits in the seven zip codes (in numerical order).

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9

I don't know whether that is at all useful or helpful...but it might be fun to try and piece together some of the zip codes (hint:  a few of the PWEs are from quite prolific blog traders).

That's enough hints - now get guessing!  The deadline to enter the contest is Monday, May 12 at 5:59 PM EST.  I'm hoping to have the first PWE Theme Week post go live at 6:00 PM on Monday!
