Count The Beans!

Day 1,285, 15:02 • Published in USA Canada • by Thedillpickl



Hi Kids!

For no particular reason I'll be giving some stuff away. Want any of it? Thought so.

Here's the deal, count the beans! Ever seen this contest at a local merchant? They get this huge glass jar and fill it with jelly beans. Every customer gets to put an estimate of how many beans there are on an official entry. When the contest is over, who ever guessed closest wins the prize.




How this works

Guess how many times the word "bean" appears in the block below. The word may be spelled forward (bean), backward (naeb), with hyphens (b-e-a-n), with slashes (b/e/a/n or b\e\a\n) or underscores (b_e_a_n). It must be a complete 'bean' to count (e.g. ean & bea do not count).

For all the critics out there: I will do the following so that I know how many beans there are: 1) Copy/paste the word bean several times to make a block of a known amount. 2) Do the same for the other official ways to have a bean. 3) Cut/paste these together, being careful to not 'chop up' any beans. 🙂 4) Add bogus crap to make it even more confusing!

Contest ends Monday night at server reset (00:00 eRep time).




The Prizes

> The first to guess the closest or exact number of beans gets prize #1.
> The second to guess the closest or exact number gets prize #2.
> The third to guess the closest or exact number gets prize #3.

Prize #1 = 100 q3 food & 10 q4 weapons
Prize #2 = 10 q4 weapons
Prize #3 = 100 q3 food

If the prize winners guess dead on, they get a bonus of 1 gold each. (If all three are exactly right, that's 3 gold total.)
