Guess how many jump rings – the grand total!

We toted this big ol’ barrel of rings to The DIY Trunk Show this weekend to ask you to guess how many rings were in the jar.  We had guesses from 1,000 all the way to 1,999,999,999 with the average being 213,408.  Nearly 100 folks submitted their guess in the hopes of being the closest to the real number and winning a $25 Blue Buddha gift certificate but only one had the closest guess.

The grand total of rings in the jar was *drumroll*…

87,843

 

The winning guess of 86,000 belonged to Andy I.  Congratulations Andy, good eye!  Congrats also to runners up Lauren C. and Mira, Petrea & Alexa B.




We also posted this picture on our page on Facebook just for fun to see if any of our fans could guess the total.  We have to give props to Jen M., Ray T., and Cathy M. for making the three closest guesses!  You guys really know how to virtually eyeball jump ring quantities!
