For your consideration I offer Asda Black Eye Beans 400g (235g drained).

You are invited to guess the total number of whole beans in the can (part beans discounted) and also the total quantity in grams of associated bean juice.

In each case 10 points will be awarded for a correct guess or, if no correct guesses, 5 points for the closest guess. Deadline for estimates to be posted is 2pm on Saturday.

I will sacrifice my points for counting as an offering to the counting gods in the fervent hope that they then choose to reward us in the footballing contest to come (well it worked for what_no_pies against Sheffield United).

Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.

Anymore for Cmg's bean count

15 minutes left for any last minute guesses. Come on you bean counters, where are you, let’s be having you.

Drainage has commenced. No more guesses considered.

591 black eyed beans
83g (ml) joooos
Checking guesstimates now

Everybody guesses too low on the beans and too high on the juice.
So it’s 5 points for Eloise Laws who guesses highest on the beans with 565 (26 under) and it’s 5 points for claretblue who guessed lowest on the juice with 103 (20 over).

Will update leader board shortly.

Hopefully my 3 point sacrifice to the counting gods will persuade them to sway the football game in our favour. It’s going to be a tough game today and the lads need all the help they can get. Up the Mighty Clarets. Come What May.
