Question....

Is it the closest that does not go over - or - just the closest to the correct amount, over or not-or-is it as you said guess the tally(right on the money)?:waving:

Also, can you guess only once or twice or three times?

Abnshrek
07-25-2013, 06:46 PM

Clearly my mistake.

I'll give it to the person closest without going over.
Seems a tease to have everyone guess and no one win huh?

I was going to play this game with the kandarian but counting fingers proved to be like counting bird droppings on a radio tower.

If we get a tropical storm before aug 8 then Tony might be the winner after all.
This bad jimmy would be in the compost already if I'd not been standing under it one night when it decided to fall over.
Don't listen to the claims that this or that doesn't need propped.
It fell past 45 degrees and believe me when I say, a lesser man wouldn't have been able to push it back up.
score .... powerlifting 1, gravity 0

just a damn shame they only taste like store bananas.......

it's stopped raining today... off to fertilize my already harvested mats with 1 gal each liquid gold :woohoonaner:
hia moa do so well in my winter that I'm hoping for Nov-Feb flowers

Sure thing.
lol I just realized that I haven't counted them yet
tried twice but kept losing count around ??? fingers
need to get a stepladder out there instead of standingg on the truck. :0519:

three hours left....... :lurk:

lpatelski
08-07-2013, 08:39 PM
Use a sharpie and number each banana on the end. It is still easy to use the same number twice, but you will catch it easier than counting in your head and guessing...did I count that banana or not? If you don't like sharpie you can use a grease pencil that wipes off later. Good luck and thank you again.

Illia,

As of 8/8/2013 at 12:01am there was no post about the bananas being successfully counted. I am sure G.W. will arrive at an accurate method of counting soon. The suspense was killing me so I at least congratulated the winner....:birthdaynana:

Hopefully me?:ha:

wow time sure flys

I like the sharpie idea, been practicing on my fingers all night !
11 for sure !

seriously though
yesterday when a I tried to count a breeze picked up and it became totally pointless :08:

the hands went 17, 16, 15, 14, and then all 14 till I got into the last couple smaller ones and I lost it DOH !
DAMN HORSEFLY !!!!! EEEEOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!

on my way now with a stepladder and some string to isolate hands then mark and count each

the two votes in after midnight don't count
sorrry guys
still some time for you to get in on powerball !!

(Blowing Whistle) Delay of Game.. on GW.. lol :^)

lpatelski
08-10-2013, 10:40 AM
Okay so the game is delayed....at least let us compare notes on how we arrived at our numbers or what we would have guessed if we could have changed our guess. Maybe a range of...

I first tried to count the bananas showing..just like G.W. I lost track quickly. Then I looked up some stats about FHIA 17 like average production in field tests. So the average in this test was 13.6 hands and 16.6 fingers= 226. But Like G.W said his hands were more consistent with 14 fingers.
Then Abnsherk posted " There's 90-something showing on the front side.. what's that tell you.. :^). So I put up tracing paper to a blown up version of the picture, then I numbered each banana-113 bananas showing=doubled is 226...
G.W. said you cannot go over so I backed it off to 215.:birthdaynana:

Ok with an effort like that to figure it out I think you should win by default. The banana would have a good home with you.

GreenFin
08-10-2013, 04:09 PM
I chose 202 largely because that number is symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing to look at. 181 was the first number I considered, since it's perfectly symmetrical (not just in terms of the digits, but in terms of symmetry about both the x-axis and y-axis), but my hunch was that the actual number would be 200+, so I went with something bigger.

I don't have room for this nanner, though, and was just playing for fun; if I happen to win I'll let Abnshrek receive the prize (if that's ok with GW) :)

I am OK but my connectivity is severely damaged. Currently reinstalled OS on laptop, using pirated dial up over router from dimwitted neighbor. wtf

answer is 238 :goteam:

basing
A number lower than 238 would be more accurate basing the count on fingers that will fill, or realistic instead of absolute.
226 is a great starting guess

The extra fingers come in in the first hand with 30.

My apologies for being late.
I'd been tethering a tablet to my smart phone, but then the phone self bricked and it all came grinding to a halt.
So far I've been unsuccessful in repairing the phone so.... dig out the laptop that crashed in Jan, new OS, pirated wifi, TADA !!! :0519:

Honestly it was so liberating to be FREE of the phone.... FREE !!!

I swear I'm gonna get a tinfoil shoebox on the nightstand just so I can say " Nope never got a call from you.... Sure it was right there on the nightstand.... The alarm went off so I'm sure it was on..... un huh....."

WTF is a liar ? :ha:

My husband thought tracing the bananas was a little obsessive. It turned out to be a somewhat accurate way to count.
