Food Count, v Bristol City (a) 29 Apr 2023

BigF · Post by **BigF** » Thu Apr 27, 2023 7:06 pm

Well, it seems time was flying by. So I hope raiding my sweetie box is acceptable.

Skittles "Giants" 141g. (Please note that the packet is the regular size but the sweets are larger, ie Giants.
5 flavours and I'd be grateful if any entries could be kept in the same order and of course there's the total. Correct guesses= 5 points each and so 30 points available. As I am organising the count I can't enter and so my race for the title is over - not that I think I had much chance of getting near the top spot.
Red - (strawberry)
Green - (lime)
Yellow - (lemon)
Purple - (blackcurrant)
Orange - (orange)

Total

Good luck everyone.

addisclaret has 2 correct = 10 points
green_parrot has 1 correct = 5 points
Claretmisterg has 1 correct = 5 points

I hope I have done the results correctly, apologies if I've missed someone.

Bosscat, are you able to update the table at some time? Thank you.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Apr 29, 2023 5:49 pm

I think this is correct ... Claretmisterg has gone over the 100 points so is unassailable now ... but no Trophy presentation till after the match next weekend v Cardiff

I was impressed that you guessed who my visitors were - unless you had also paid my house a visit.

Thanks for updating the table.

Maybe I can now begin to eat the sweets.

Eloise Laws · Post by **Eloise Laws** » Sat Apr 29, 2023 6:37 pm

Great count BigF. Just a query, as in other counts, should Zooniverser not be awarded points for being closest to the green total, or were you just awarding on the nose guesses??!
Not criticising, just a query….

Great 3 points today for the Champions on the pitch

BigF · Post by **BigF** » Sat Apr 29, 2023 7:10 pm

Hi Eloise. A good point about the nearest to the Green Skittles. It hadn't occurred to me. I am happy to award 5 points to Zooniverser as nearest the green total.

If Bosscat reads this post, are you able to add 5 to Zooniverser's account? Thanks to both you and Eloise.

Can I just check that it’s the top six that qualify for the European places and therefore the post season ‘continental food count’ ?
