Out of curiosity when you've finished counting, are you going to eat them in their separate groups?
If so would you eat your favourite one first or last?
Or would you be like me and mix them back up before scoffing them four or five at at time.

Thanks jdrobbo.
I never realised they came in packets now. Bring back the tube!
GREEN: 9
RED: 7
YELLOW: 20
BROWN: 13
BLUE: 8
PINK: 7
ORANGE: 14
VIOLET: 9

Mix them back up, definitely. Dare I say it, it’s that taste of them mixed together that makes them so nice. My wife has already claimed them as hers though!!!

Don't they all taste the same regardless of colour?

I think this is actually true, although the colouring used on each chocolate, I think has a slightly different taste.

When I asked about eating favourite first or last, I was thinking about the colour, as they do taste the same to me.
But I do scoff them rather than savouring the flavour .

Green 5

I hear that the funnel down the throat technique is the only way to fly

This week’s count is now officially closed. Thank you to everyone that took part.

Firstly, I apologise for temporarily displaying the updated count list, showing points that have been allocated to certain people. That table did not indicate the number of smarties, so thanks to Eloise For pointing it out.

I hope it was removed quickly enough. Looking at the number of views, I suspect it was. Only zooniverser posted after and as a regular player, I am confident that the game was played in full faith.

Results coming up:

Please check your totals and I’ll correct any errors.

Whoever updates the table, please add on my five points for doing the count. Cheers!

I think you've got the different colour totals mixed up in your table.

E.g. you've got 8 green smarties pictured but the total is noted as 19. Same for all the colours

Thanks for a great count, jdrobbo, and congratulations to all the points scorers. The mighty Clarets will undoubtedly be granted favour by the counting gods in the footballing contest to come.

I’ll update the points table later, after jd has had a chance to review the results.

Come On You Clarets.

There’s no doubt about it… I have no idea what has happened there. Will change it.

Second attempt!!!

Apologies

Well done all, a lot of points scored which unfortunately did not lead to any goals scored in the football. Still, Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.

There's a medical condition " BSH SYNDROME " that every single person on the planet has, it effects your brain functions, causing you do do or say something, that when you look back at it you cannot understand WHY you either did or said such a thing. Its something that cannot be cured.
Every now and then we all do something that baffles everyone including yourself. Its at a couple of time a month it happens to me.
Referee's seem prone to suffering from it far more than your average person!
With you posting results early and mixing up the colours and numbers it seems yours kicked in this morning, don't worry about it.

We all have to live with " BIG STUPID HEAD SYNDROME "

I think this is very fair feedback. I’ll stick to counting mixed grapes next time I’m on duty
