If you could post a link to current exchange rates in the background that would be a lot more helpful.

These two links show different values of the Euro vs the USD. There are many exchanges available in addition to these two, so my question is which one will be used to satisfy the question? Just curious.

Here's another one. This one shows the rates significantly different and in this case would put the outcome in a different wagering bracket as well.

At Fridays close, 4 PM est, there should be a standard closing price within a few pips reported by the major news organizations such as Bloomberg.
