Sorry if my question was too difficult, however its not 367 or 769.  Please try again.


Maybe a further question for those following this most exciting forum post would be: how many handfulls would be needed to empty the jar (considering we use a normal size hand)?

Bizarrely... if you rotate the picture of the jar about 65 degrees anticlockwise and squint at the picture from a distance of approx 55cm. for 30 seconds.. you might see a picture of an angel!

Clinty Sweet Pie - I don't have normal sized hands on account of slapping all the useless men in my life - they're slighter larger than normal - so on that basis probably only three handfuls needed to empty the jar....Non??

Can anyone guess how many jelly beans are in the jar?


Dec 21, 10 14:47

The right answer is of course 'yes'


There is someone out there who can guess how many jelly beans are in the jar. We just need to find who that person is.


Which reminds me of the joke that goes


John: "Do you know, Clive, that every five seconds, somewhere in the world a woman is having a baby?"


Clive: "Right, and that's the woman we have got to find!"


Does this constitute thread jacking? Sure hope not ...

Brillant, you are looking for confirmation of the reward before doing the work.


Ok, the prize for guessing correctly is 50% of all the multi-coloured jelly beans in the jar

Ok then, Mr. Smarty Pants - "Can anyone guess who will correctly be able to guess how many jelly beans in the jar?"


Any response which contains the word "yes", unless that is the name of the person correctly guessing will not be allowed

To only need 3 handfulls I think that your hands must be "quite a bit larger than normal".  Although, I am not a slapper...per sè.


Could I hijack my own post to ask you to tell us about your  best slap on a man?

Of course you can tell how many jelly beans are in the jar!


(This supposing you are not just pulling the whole of us around, and didn't bother counting them before posing teh questions.


 


But you can keep the reward. I hate jelly beans!) ;-)

Ummm, unsure if you would get "all"of them, as generally, at least in my experiences, jelly beans are not multi-coloured.


Happy for you to explain why you put them under your mattress?

nothing like a good catfight over a guy..... love this modern world we live in...


 


I remember walking through San Fran some 15 yrs ago...on my way to dinner...little did i know i had strayed into a rough area... (i was wearing a blazer, red trews and looking very dapper)... as I passed a 7/11 two women of questionable origin fell out fo the door in a knife fight... the words I heard as I skipped on were "yo biatch ho,,, yo slept wi ma mayan...biatch"....


apparently I was lucky to get through the area without trouble (my host later informed me) but i didnt even get a second glance from the bottle in a bag tramps that were loitering everywhere... I guess its the confidence that one walks with that makes a difference...

I'd like to think my hero (and namesake) had a little more class - "...or must I really give you a piece of my mind" - Ginger "Oh! I couldn't take the last piece". Slap! Class.....
