For clarity, I'm looking for the number of items, not the weight

Ok results are in. Very quick and simple.

Image

Total Olives - 25, Chillis 3(easy to count), and one lonesome cheese - even easier to count!

As such our winners today are Dingledangle with closest guess at 23, Zooniverser with closest cheese at 3, and finally dingledagnle and longsider with a guess of 3 chillis. (5 points for each correct guess - no bonuses this week)

So the points are +10 Dingledangle, +5 Longsider, +5 Zooniverser.

Now I'm off to eat my cheeseless olives before the match!
