I find Mark's point re gambling quite pertinent considering that my power meter is a 10 year old Dick Smith kitset.<br>

Ok, thanks, Spencer; I've placed my bet. Now seeing that you<br>
have declared that you are going to issue a chocolate fish, we<br>
might say that you are using your electricity meter for<br>
billing purposes... and if this happens in NZ, then according<br>
to the Electricity Industry Participation Code (EIPC) your<br>
meter must be certified by an EA-Approved Test House (ATH).<br>
Both the EIPC and a list of ATHs are available from the EA<br>
<a href="http://www.ea.govt.nz/" target="_blank">http://www.ea.govt.nz/</a><br>
<br>
But you probably were already aware of the legal / compliance<br>
implications of your offer :-)<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Helmut.<br>

I hooked my trusty power meter up to our breadmaker to see<br>
how much energy it takes to bake a loaf of bread, and<br>
therefore how much each loaf costs.<br>
<br>
I'll give a chocolate fish to the person with the closest<br>
guess.<br>
<br>
It's a 1 kg loaf of white bread and it takes the machine 3<br>
hours to knead and bake.<br>
<br>
Enter your guess here:<br>
