I especially liked his estimation of the AU; "Very Large".

Shane,
Just posted mine. I'd certainly encourage others to do the same.
After timing the second and third contact, I entered my results in the vt-2004.org website. I was amazed to find that my results yielded an AU to an accuracy of 0.2% - amazing considering how simple it was to undertake the experiment. Certainly a well worth exercise.
