[AshevilleNCClaret]

American here, can the liquid estimate be imperial ? The only metric we use in the US in the 2 liter of soda....

[Eloise Laws]

103 carrot disc
97ml of juice

I thank you!

[Bosscat]

Thank You everybody for your Estimates for the Etihad so far.

We’ve a couple of entries that have guessed at the same value

Carrot Slices

Bosscat - 85
RalphCoatesComb - 85

Water

Bosscat - 150ml
fatboy47 - 150ml
ChuckyPad - 150ml

I’ve looked into the archives of this event and on Sunday 22nd November the same problem occurred. As Bosscat had his entry first I’m allowing RalphCoatesComb to reconsidered his Carrot Slices estimate and also fatboy47 to reconsidered his Water estimate. If your happy with your estimates I must stress any winning points will be shared equally. Bosscat if you want to go ahead and reconsidered that’s also available. Bare in mind there are a few estimates that are close by in your estimates.

Edit: ChuckyPad also with the estimate of 150ml of Water.

I stand by my estimates

[Redbeard]

Re. the Silvo, Dyched: now that IS the spirit!

How can we not win tomorrow now?

[Claretmisterg]

I sez 27 slices of carrot and 84 ml joooos

[Redbeard]

Asheville, it's not surprising you struggle with metric when you can't even spell litre...

[FactualFrank]

When is closing time for entries?

[fatboy47]

I hereby revise my jooce estimate to 147 mltr.

Sined

Thank You Fatboy. I know it’s not ideal to change guesses.

[Dyched]

No problem Bosscat.

[Dyched]

When is closing time for entries?

2PM Tomorrow Frank. I hope to see you join us.

As it’s Thanksgiving I think I can bend a few rules here and there.

[Redbeard]

Oh dear! We're playing Manchester City, not Blackburn Ladies...

[Dyched]

Sorry Redbeard, thought since it was Thanksgiving we could allow it this once?

Sorry Ashville. I can provide some learning material on Metric Units if you wish?

[Redbeard]

Sorry Redbeard, thought since it was Thanksgiving we could allow it this once?

The only thanks given for our bending the rules would be City's!

Those mystical powers are very sensitive and can easily turn against us if we do not respect the formalities.

[Dyched]

Very well

Thanks Longside.

Good luck.

Yes of course, I understand. I just got caught up in the occasion for a minute or 2.

[Redbeard]

Phew.

Thank heavens I was looking in...

As the Admiral pointed(sic) out in his first count the possibility of sharing points is covered in the esteemed rulebook(hard back edition). Therefore I will stick, the thought of changing and 80ml coming up could drive me to drink.

Dyched - I'll amend my joooose estimate to 140ml

[Aclaret]

I would like to estimate 88 carrots in 127ml of juice.......oh and COME ON YOU CARROTS.

[Redbeard]

Morning, Counters!

I see the old 'identical estimates' phenomenon has recurred. This however need not be a problem.

We cannot expect each successive Estimator to check through the whole thread for any similar values already posted, but neither should we rely on the Count Officiator to point out each and every occurrence. After all, he or she is under enough pressure as it is. Yet the Officiator may, if nonetheless so minded, provide such extra guidance as a helpful gesture to his Estimators.

As Huw has illustrated from our previous Count, the points can simply be shared.

Well done so far to Dyched. It's going swimmingly, as indeed is life inside the Tin for those unsuspecting carrot slices soon to be outed and Counted.

Thank You Huy.

I just wanted to make our estimate participants aware of double estimate that have occurred. There seems to be several on this weeks round.

Morning admiral. All under control here. We’re 1 hour and 24 minutes from drainage. I’ve heard rumblings that Pep has caught wind of our Tinned Food Count.

You're all wrong!
It's 86 carrot slices and 93 joose - Mr Brucefan says so.......and who am I to disagree. Three points for the Clarets, please. Who are these ManCity dudes anyway - pah!

[Dyched]

Thank You all for your estimates so far.

Under an hour to go now until the winner(s) is announced. Drainage has finished, carrot slices counted and water measured.

Our last week pieces winner is yet to enter so could there be a new leader at the top?

Thanks again everyone.

[claretblue]

38 carrot pieces
158ml of liquid

missed the food count last week but really grateful for Redbeard resurrecting this additional assistance to the Clarets season!

Also to Dyched for setting up this count!

[The Enclosure]

i want to know who has the winners cardy..Anybody got a photo of it? I want to be sure its my colour

[Dyched]

Round 2 is now finished, Thank You for all entries.

We had 40 entires in this round and so without further ado the winners of Round 2 are as follows:

Carrot Slices
There were 57 carrot slices within the tin. As nobody estimated the correct amount I declare gawthorpe_view as the winner with a very respectable estimate of 56.

gawthorpe_view 56
Zlatan 54
Zooniverser 63

Water
The winner in estimating the Water content goes to Aclaret who estimated the exact correct amount. The winning amount was 127ml.

Aclaret 127
Clansman 125
Longsider 133

Congratulations our 2 winners for this weeks Tinned Food Count.

Big Thanks for all involved and to Redbeard in trusting me in ensuring things ran as smoothly as possible. Even if he did take a bit of persuading here and there!

League Table

BurnleyLad 5
Gawthorpe_view 5
Aclaret 4
Zlatan 3

Now time to cheer on the boys.

[Redbeard]

All excellent, Dyched, except that Aclaret has four, not five, points, including his bonus point, and Gawthorpe has five, not three.

[Redbeard]

EDITED.

[Dyched]

Thanks Zlatan. A very good estimate to say you were the first poster to enter. Well done.

[Redbeard]

Indeed, Dyched, very well done overall.

Not as easy as it looks, this officiating, is it?
