Title: CONTEST: How many Bitcoin Penny™ coins are in the jar?
Post by: BitcoinPenny on May 11, 2015, 10:18:43 PM

Can YOU guess how many Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins are in the jar?

A short while ago, one of our happy customers (aacoins) PMed us with a fun idea. He asked if we’d be interested in co-sponsoring a contest to guess how many Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins are in a jar. We’d provide the coins in the jar, and he’d provide the prize. We thought it was a brilliant idea, so we bought a jar and filled it to the top!

The contest:

Guess how many Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins are in the jar.

(NOTE: You are guessing the number of coins in the FULL jar. The spilled jar is just a great photo for dramatic effect.)

The prize:

The winner will receive a FREE 2-Pack of Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. Shipping included. (Generously paid for and donated by our friend, aacoins!)

The rules:

The contest starts now and will run for one week. We’ve provided the official final count in a hashed message (see signature below). On the morning of May 18, 2015, we’ll post the official final count along with the original hashed message, and anyone who wishes may hash and verify the results.

The winner of the contest is the person who guesses closest to the actual number of coins in the jar (under or over). In the event of a tie, each of the winners will receive the prize.

One guess per forum member.

You may change your guess at any time before the contest ends. However, all changes must be posted as a new reply. (No edits.) This ensures that we don’t miss the change.
 
BONUS: The first person to correctly guess the EXACT number of coins in the jar will receive a FREE Bitcoin Penny™ Short Roll (x20 coins). Shipping included.

Please feel free to ask questions, and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Happy counting, and good luck!

Best Regards,
Christopher @ The Bitcoin Penny Co.

Sky,

Correct. You may change your guess as many times as you like, but you must post the change as a new reply (no edits).

And to avoid confusion, it might help to start the new reply with, "I change my guess to _____."

Good luck! :)

Me

Your duplicate guess is invalid. Be original please, only the first person wins, and a tie is only possible if, for example the actual number is 3, and one person guesses 1, and the other 5 (each at a distance of two whole numbers from 3), and nobody guesses 3, 2, or 4.

i hope. 200 penny



250 Penny

250 coins.

Duplicate guesses are perfectly fine. There is no rule against it. And if the number is correct, both people will receive a prize. No worries. :)

Good luck, everyone!

No need for him to post anything. The Bitcoin Penny Company is covering any duplicate prizes (as well as the Short Roll in case someone guesses the exact number).

It's OK, really. :)

(But I appreciate you looking out for both aacoins and our company. It's a very kind gesture from a stand-up guy. Thank you.)

Is any guess so far quite close to the right answer? Or people are guessing way more number of coins that are present in the jar?

Is any guess so far quite close to the right answer? Or people are guessing way more number of coins that are present in the jar?

I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. Any hints/clues to the correct answer might be seen as unfair by some of the contestants. I'm sure you understand.

Good luck!

OK no problem  :)

Usually these games do have some hints to guess the right answer and hence I asked.

Wow you crammed a lot of coins in there!!!

Yes, this game is pretty deceptive. Probably why it's a classic. I count no fewer than one hundred thirty-three (133) coins visible from the front of the full jar. I suppose it's easy to expect the same amount on the back half. The trouble is figuring out how many take up the middle space. Tough game, but a few of you were pretty close.  :)

And we hope to play more games in the near future. ;D

Once again, thank you, everyone, for playing our little game. We look forward to the next opportunity.  :)

Christopher
