Food Count v Plymouth (a) Jan 22

Post by BigF » Sat Jan 18, 2025 11:36 am

For this midweek count I present some stars. These are similar to sprinkles for cakes etc and consist of stars and dots.
There are the usual 10 points for a correct total for stars and similarly for the dots. 5 points for nearest guesses. Also 10 points for the weight of the container and lid, with 5 points for nearest guesses. (The totals are for all colours combined). The count will take place at 7pm on Wednesday.

Hello Everyone. I think I may have to offer apologies for the count size. I hope I can be forgiven.

Any way, the results are, Stars - 392, Dots - 807, Jar/Lid - 8g

I think the 5 points go as follows
Stars claretblue (who had 408)
Dots claretblue (who had 454)
Jar Zooniverser (who had 11g)

Again my apologies for such a count. Just hope the boys Star tonight.

An excellent count BigF, thank you. Thanks also to all our food counters. The counting gods are clearly very pleased with us, guiding us to a 5-0 lead at half time against those pesky pilgrims. Here’s to another 5 in the second half. Up the Mighty Clarets.
