Guess how many there are:![]() The prizes are as follows: 50 posts for guessing correctly; 30 posts if your guess is within 5 of the correct answer; 15 posts if your guess is not within 5, but within 10, of the correct answer; 10 posts if your guess is not within 10, but within 15, of the correct answer; 5 posts if your guess is not within 15, but within 30, of the correct answer. A Yellow Ribbon for being the first person to guess correctly.The closing date is Monday, 6th August 2012 at 10pm GMT, so you have only three days for this! Additional rules:

Yes, that's fine - you changed it before I saw it, at least .

Obviously I'm not going to change it again. Mine's going to be right because it was mathematically calculated... mu ha ha ha ha ha ha. |

I'd be interested to see what sort of maths you used .

I mathematically calculated mine, and then added a random number. Which is why I'm sure it's wrong .

Although, I suppose it will kind of lose its impact if the actual number turns out to be anything other than 112 .

I neither confirmed nor denied that . So far, we have two people who used some form of mathematics to help them: one got 112, and the other got 87, so at least one of them is wrong!All will be revealed this evening, however. |

Time's up! The correct number was: 126 The scores are as follows: 1st: HoD (4 over; 30 posts) 2nd: Adam (14 under; 10 posts) 3rd: Shiny (34 under) 4th: Daniel (39 under) 5th: Katie (63 under) Congrats, HoD! |

Thanks... the maths used in my calculation was add the number of beans visible on the front pane... then multiply by the number of rows visible from the top... came pretty darn close. |

You're welcome. Yeah, it worked pretty well. I'm guessing the others used similar methods. |
