‘Mad as a Hatter’ - food count v Luton (January 12th, 5pm cut-off)

by jdrobbo
Ladies and gents, please accept my apologies for being late to this crucial ‘Mad as a Hatter’ food count. In all honesty, I had set my phone to remind me to put something up this evening, but that was with the game being played three days later. I forgot to bring that forward by a few days when the game was re-arranged, so thank you to StayingDown4Ever for the reminder.
So this week, I have been in conversation with my good friend and West Yorkshire Clarets Mascot, Rosie, who asked if she could pick this week’s item.
After her selection, I had to refer to redbeard’s famous rule manual and under rule 17.4 the following item has been passed as an edible food stuff…
So this week, Rosie has chosen CRUNCHIES: Earls Oven Baked Assorted Biscuit Shapes (500g).
She would like you to guess how many of each shape there are in the box, and she says that if you have not guessed by 5pm on Friday, then she’s going to start eating her biscuits, as that is the official cut-off time.
Please guess (shape numbers only, colour is irrelevant):
Diamonds:
Hearts:
Bones:
Rectangles (indented):
Ovals:
Circles:
5 points for the closest in each shape category
10 points for anyone who guesses ‘on the nose’ in each category
NO GUESSES FOR GRAND TOTAL this week.
Best wishes
John and Rosie

Only just checked the results here - what a guy I am.
Soured my good haul with that shambolic goalkeeping in the game.

Last, but definitely not least, a big 20 points sees StayingDown4Ever bound up the table from joint 20th to 11th now on 25 points.
Thanks to jdrobbo for an intriguingly different count. There have been quite a few different scorers so I am happy to submit the updated table for a VAR check. If there are any clear and obvious errors I am confident they will be picked up because that’s what VAR is for, isn’t it ? Otherwise I say what’s the point of it.
A frustrating end to the game. 3 points again eluded us. Still I hope we keep battling in every game but we are going to need things to start going in our favour to stand any chance of staying up. Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.
it was StayingDown4Ever
