Food Count Norwich (a) - I’m having hoops

Post by Claretmisterg » Thu Dec 12, 2024 10:32 am

You are all invited to guess the number of complete hoops in my tin and the weight in grams of tomato sauce that drains off when the tin is emptied into a sieve and left draining for 5 minutes. 10 points for exact guess in each case or 5 for nearest if nobody exact.

Spaghetti strands are my thing rather than hoops, but I’ll go
187 Hoops
49 gm of thick tomato sludge after a 5 min drain…..all very precise.

Thanks for the Count Claretmisterg

Tricky one. Not easy measuring jooose when it's stuck to the subject matter.

My guess is

Lilliputian life belts: 180
Gulliver's blood: 45

Cheers
