Ok ,now i can say the box definitely contains a kindle,t-shirts,pens,badges,sql server wait stat book etc
Hi Sir
Those all are your collage books + hints
Hi Pinal, Congratulations on the 5th year celebration of our popular SQL Authority blog.
My guess would be the SQL Authority T-Shirts in those boxes :)
My guess for what’s in the box is-
Joes 2 Pros Books and Learning DVD
Many Many Congratulations to you …
You were planning to write some new books…So it may possible that these boxes contain those books which are not yet published…
Hi Pinal,
Both are Empty Box…
Hi Pinal,
Many Congratulations on the 5th year celebration of SQLAuthority blog.
There are something special for you in the boxes:)
Hello Pinal,
I would guess books that are yet to be published.
Congratulations!!!
For Sure it has Tee shirts. How?
Going by the thickness & size of the carton, I guess they cannot carry books.
So it should be SQLAuthority.com T-shirts….
I’m guessing a full set of MSDN subscription materials and publications.
Thanks for the great opportunity!

I wanted to say the your daughter climbed in the box, but i didn’t think you’d give her away (for free). :)
“Think outside the box to guess what is in the box :)”? All i see is a shadow. And while there is a bog shadow in the box, if you opened it to give it away, it would be gone.
Hmm… so what can it be?
I would have said the books, but you said it isn’t.
You probably mean the top box, which is open, so there might be nothing in it. Which is very easy to give away for free. :)
OK, it has to be something we can guess, something you can give away, and something you wouldn’t mind giving away. And, something not normal for a box.
I want to say Denali, but that wouldn’t work.
The bottom boxed is pressed down, so it either isn’t filled to the top, or it is soft. I like that tee shirt idea someone mentioned.
There has to be (at least) five of these in the box.
I’m going to guess usb drives. You bought a bunch to give things away on them, and happen to have a few extra.
What’s in the box?
– Copy of all your blog posts.
– Collection of presentations from SQL Pass 2011
Hi Pinal,
I am re-guessing it..:)
It should be Denali and a kindle…:)
it has a ps3 and a tv in the bigger box
Hi Pinal,
The box contains your knowledge.
I think Pinal has more than that! :)
