To be fair, they make pins bigger in the future.

The idea for this challenge was to utilize the "wisdom of the crowds." Basically the idea is if you need to guess something, it's better to ask 1000 people and take the average of their guesses than just ask one person. In theory. So the idea was that spies9bo would give a estimate, and then all the spies 6 people would give estimates and average it out. Ideally, each spies 6 person would give their guess independently but unfortunately I was not strict enough with time limits and enforcing it and some people waited until 2 minutes past the time limit to provide false estimates to raise the average. that's what i get for just assuming people would think about a guess, post it, and be done with it. =P anyway, here were the results: # of posts on this message board, including all hidden ones, as of 6:00 PM CDT Saturday May 30th: bo guessed 4220 spies6 guessed 4153.2 real answer: 4668 future wins a point! for round 2 i turned on a webcam and showed them a small glass box of pushpins. future guessed 192 spies6 guessed 242 there was... 237 pins! spies6 gets a point.
