First I'd like to thank everyone who voted. We had 12 people who posted a guess. Not to bad for the first go around. Thank you folks for voting.
I'll say this about the pictures they made the glass look smaller than it was in real life. I was hoping someone would get the real answer because it was kind of a trick question. A lot of people understood what I was going for by only counting the copper pennies and not the zinc so they low balled the number thinking there would only be a few. However these aren't your ordinary everyday pennies you save in a jar to bring to the bank when it's full.
The answer I was looking for was:
All of them
You see I have a big bag of 1982 and older copper pennies that I've been collecting for several years now because they are actually worth more than a penny. So I filled the glass up with all of those pennies and not the junky zinc ones I take to the bank. I think they are worth 2-3 cents a piece right now with price of copper so I've been saving for the day copper goes through the roof and I could sell them for a nice price to some shady ebay buyer for them to do whatever they want with them.
So who was the closest?
The actually number of copper pennies was three dollars and eight-four cents or 384.
Which means: @wakeupworldnews was the closest with a guess of 254. Only 130 short.
I also gave out a 2nd and 3rd place because what the hell way not it was fun seeing the guesses come in.
Here's the rundown on the prizes:
1st @wakeupworldnews with 254. Prize 5 SBD
2nd @chromiumone with 225. Prize 2 SBD
3rd @hebrewhousewife with 157 Prize 1 SBD
The prizes have already be sent to you boys and girls.
I hope everyone enjoyed it. I definitely enjoyed doing it, it was something different from my normal rants about politics and such so I look forward to doing it again and you guys should expect another guessing game next week some time.
Thanks,
@wakeupnd
