NUTS Food Count v Man U
For your consideration
I have occasionally wondered what percentage of peanuts in a 415g bag of KP remain whole and how many split in two. I shall therefore be assessing the following and ask for your guesstimates in advance.
1) How many whole peanuts in this bag (W)
2) How many halves of a peanut in this bag (H)
3) Therefore how many peanuts in total in this bag (P). This would logically be P = W + 2H but you can enter a different estimate if you wish (including an unmatched half).
4) Therefore what percentage of peanuts remain whole within this one bag sample. Again this will logically be ( W / P) x 100 but you can enter a different estimate if you wish.
For each of the above there will be 5 points for a correct answer or 3 points for nearest guess.
Also just for fun (no points as subjective) if there are an odd number of peanut halves where might the missing half be.
I’ll tell you something now. I will go NUTS if we beat United I will just LOVE IT.
Come On You Mighty Clarets

Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
Should have said deadline for guesses is 5pm on Saturday results published shortly thereafter.
Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
Right ....
W = 203 Monkey nuts
H = 303 Mon nu
354
66% W/P
The missing 1/2 nut is enjoying an all inclusive holiday with Jet 2 with his mates (Dry Roasted and Honey nut) in Torremolinos

Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
Ooh, proper tricky one this!
I'll go for 147 whole nuts,
297 half nuts,
302 nuts in total
48% whole nut percentage
The missing half is in a singles only nightclub with a load of missing single socks and gloves.
Thanks for the count

Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
Oh christ!
Can you give us a clue?
I ain't had a bag of KP in years - are they supposed to be whole? Are they generally 50/50? I really can't remember.

Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
No doubt VAR will overturn the winning guess after 3 minutes of examining a quarter peanut but here goes.
189 full nuts
240 half nuts
total 309
percentage 61.16 %
Intriguing count.

Guesstimates so far
Only 4 guesses so far so here’s a message for the best football supporters in the world ‘let’s be having you’.
You have till 5pm on Saturday to place your guesses.
I am feeling very confident about the game on Saturday. I think we can take all 3 points and skittle Ten Pin Hag. Up the mighty Clarets.

Thanks Claretmisterg, this certainly got my brain working.
I am going for:

393 halves

49% whole
The escapee half peanut was washed away in the recent Dawlish flooding and gobbled up by one of our famous black swans.

Re: NUTS Food Count v Man U
Guesses so far
Looking at some of the guesses I might not have explained the counting very well. I will be counting how many nuts have remained whole and how many half nut pieces there are. With the half nuts I am asking for an estimate of how many halves there are, not how many nuts that makes.
So, as an example, if there are 50 whole nuts and 60 half nut pieces then the result will be
50 whole nuts
60 half nut pieces
80 nuts in total (50 + 30)
62.5% of total nuts were whole (50/80 as a percentage)
Hope that makes sense and if anybody wants to change their estimates just let me know.
Also bear in mind that it doesn’t matter if the numbers don’t add up because one or more of the guesses may still be correct. Although a clean sweep of all points is only possible if all the numbers tally.
Still time for more guesses. Cut off time is 5pm tomorrow.

claretblue 3 points for nearest whole nuts with 207 (31 out)
jdrobbo 3 points for nearest half nuts with 464 (83 out)
Croydon Claret 3 points for nearest total nuts with 518 (only 6.5 out)
Cabbage 3 points for nearest whole nut percentage with 45.9% (only 0.63% out)
1 bonus point each for Croydon Claret and Cabbage for close proximity of guesses.
I will update the leader board tomorrow.
I think the rogue half a peanut hitched a ride on my dogs collar when I took him out this morning and hopped onto the Tesco delivery van which we had to squeeze past as it was delivering next door. It stayed with the Tesco van until it returned to Burnley Tesco where it hopped into the Burnley kit mans hold-all when he called into Costa coffee on his way to the turf. The half nut is currently secreted within Zeki Amdouni’s right boot where he will remain until the 7th minute of the game when he will hop onto the ball and ride it, screaming with delight, as Zeki unleashes a screamer into the top right corner of Man Ures net to put the Clarets one up.
