Guess how much money is in that container!


If you have the closest guess then you win a wonderful prize: I'll put whatever you want into my signature on TL for the remainder of April (must be SFW). I'm about to bring it over to my credit union which has a free coin-sorting machine. I normally do this once a year but I got so much change this year that I'm running about 4 months early... I guess that means I'm making more cash transactions lately.

The container is filled with quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies. Any coins that the machine spits back out will be run through one more time before they are discarded.

Please make your guess using the following format: $20.56 (for example)

In case of a tiebreaker I will pm an additional question to the participants.

Please feel free to add your thoughts/comments about anything even remotely related to this issue.

This contest runs until I get back from the bank (I have to make other stops so you will have a couple of hours from the time I post this). Here are some more photos:

Micronesia, why don't you keep the quarters for doing laundry? Personally, I do have a large change container myself, but I've been using it for refilling MetroCards with dimes and nickels.

With that said, I think it's $53.17.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Looks to be about $64.50ish

Last time i took in change I really underestimated how many quarters I had. I hope you got a lot more than you thought you would!

I probably would've guessed about $130 or so. I've got a similarly sized change cup and every time I empty it, there's just about $110 but I use a lot of my quarters regularly.

Micronesia, why don't you keep the quarters for doing laundry? Personally, I do have a large change container myself, but I've been using it for refilling MetroCards with dimes and nickels.

I do my laundry at my parents' house so I don't need many quarters.

oh... these types of guessing games... ALWAYS more than you guess.

I remember in middle school there was a prize to guess how many jelly beans or whatever was in a jar and I guessed a number roughly 6 times less than the actual number

I was going to guess somewhere in the 80-100 range. That cup looks about two or three times bigger than what I carry my change in and although it doesn't look like it my cup usually holds about $40-50 in it.

edit: people don't understand how much the quarters really make up the total sum of chunk of change like that.

It is kind of amazing how many people are missing the first line of the OP with a link to the results, which is labeled in red, as well as the thread title being edited to have [results] in the beginning...

Damn, was way off. I was basing it on a money machine thing that I have; looks to be about as tall as your thing and a good bit slimmer. Last time I filled it up to the top with quarters only, and it was about $100. I figured that with a mix of pennies/nickels/dimes, it would be a good bit less.

I would have guessed like $50 as an absolute upper bound.

Think of it this way guys. Get 40 quarters and stack them up, that is only 10 dollars, and its what, 4 inches high?

Now imagine that bigass box. Thats why I would have guessed well over 100.

I wonder whether tschis realizes he won...I want to see something awesome in that signature :3

What do you think is the statue of limitations on this...???

I guess he has until the end of April to pm me lol


Unless you're afraid (winkwink) that he'll destroy your signature, I think you should just PM him

This says he has been an active poster lately (148 posts--one fourth of his total--this week wtfbbq) so maybe he just forgot about his entry haha

Hahahaha micronesia should write in bold, red, all caps text: IT'S ALREADY OVER in the very first line, because these people are clearly not reading the top through, or understanding that "results" implies "contest finished" for some reason ==;

Why should I do that? It's more fun to see dozens of people embarrass themselves :p


Well I just opened this thread like 5 minutes ago. Here was my experience about this blog post.

1. I noticed [results] but didn't see any on OP (why dont just edit to OP?).
2. I saw picture and scrolled it and text to look picture and read text below it. Mainly I didn't even bother text up of it (as it was covered because of the pictures).
3. Then I read all text and check all rest of pictures and started looking results at bottom of OP but didn't find any. Logically any updates should be last, not first.
4. Then checked last page and noticed your post about red color etc

I guess thats what normal Forum users sees it.

I opened post and noticed picture and scrolled it so that my top screen was showing picture and lower screen rest of text. So it was hidden at the start already. So I didnt even bother reading first lines because of pictures and I expected results to be end of OP.

Why I did that? Well because picture was blurry and was looking reason why it was blurry (because its uncommon).

So you scrolled past the first part of the post which has the information you were looking for? I don't really see why you would do that but apparently a lot of people are? I think it's silly to scroll past the first line in a post, blurry picture or not...

I guess after 15 years of Internet experience its hard to change it. Oh and I will add one more thing. I was looking $xx.xx on the post but couldn't find. Now this would have been good solution

Edit: Competition is over and winner is xxxxxxxx

Result is $xxx.xx

(Perhaps some pictures and instructions to winner)

Thats what I was expecting, not just url to post.

I wanted to keep the result out of the first post intentionally so that people still could mentally guess before looking up the result.

In the past I've usually seen updates regarding results placed at the top of OPs rather than the bottom... is that not your experience?
