Are you joking or what? The winner was announced a few days back, perhaps reading the thread before posting would stop you looking like a Muppet.

I'm going to take an engineers approach to this and give a calculated estimate.
- Arctic Silver 5 is approximately (in metres, L*W*H) 0.1*0.01*0.01, which gives the volume = 1*10^-5 m^3
- The height of the pile (call this h) looks to be 0.1m high and the width (call this C) 13 Arctic Silvers across so that's 13*0.01 = 1.3m
- Thus using the sperical segment volume equation, V = pi*h*(C^2/8 + h^2/6) we'll get a total volume of the pile, V = 0.0669 m^3
- Dividing the volume V, by the volume of Arcitc Silver 5 will give approximately the amount in the pile which comes to 6689 Arctic Silvers (to the closest Arctic Silver)
- Adding 6689 to 21 which spells out OcUK gives 6710. But since suppliers are likely to provide a nice round number and I'm guessing the person just tipped out the box of supplies...
...my guess is 7000
Surely I should get a prize for the best reasoning?
