Bank Down! Week 2 update

Good news!
You’re still in the running. No guess this week came close enough to the exact amount to scoop the entire prize pool. So we will keep accepting weekly guesses until someone does. You got another shot!
An apology!
To everyone who put in a guess that would be logical for one reason or another, something with three threes in it, or the starting bank amount, or something that used a 13 for our 13th anniversary, or referenced 2012 the year we started, to all the people who tried to put some thought into their answer, I apologize.
This time it is just a random number.
You honor CX3 with your assumptions that it was not all random! (Though in this case you are too generous.)
And this week’s winner is…
Robert Anchelowitz!
Well played sir.
This week’s miscellanea that may or may not be helpful as you triangulate your next guess-
Closest guess this week: $26,584
The average guess this week: $24,919.59459
Worst guesses: $2,500 and $2,502 (I’m getting a little worried about how poorly some dealers are eyeballing a pile of black and orange chips.)
The last guess- Pon put three different guesses in around 8:00 am Wednesday morning. Not really hitting the “by Tuesday” deadline. But since none of the three were the closest guess we accepted them. (And then as I was writing this on Wednesday afternoon Tod F put a guess in. Not entirely sure if that was supposed to be for last week or next week. Oh well.)
Good luck with your guesses this week!
Week 3 deadline: Tuesday August 12th.
AND BONUS SIDE QUEST:
For everyone who was diligent enough to read this far, we are taking a token out of the prize pool and offering it to whoever can guess closest to how many people will make guesses this week in the main Bank Down event. We went from almost 90 people guessing in the first week to less than 40 the second week. What will it be this week?
