Count Inside the Bottle [Closed Until Next Year]

[Mars Adept]

I just submitted my guess a few minutes ago. So excited to see the reveal and if anyone got the dark candy!

Back in October 2015, I hosted my first ever Count Inside the Bottle event using candy corn as the counting fodder. I never would have dreamed that I'd be having you all count confetti nearly five years later. Evolution is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

I know you're not here for my nostalgia, so let's go ahead and make some announcements! The exact number of razor-sharp hell confetti in the deceptively tiny jar is...

Spoiler: I'M SORRY I MADE YOU COUNT CONFETTI BUT IT WAS FUN RIGHT

1577!

While no one guessed the exact number, @Snowesque was pretty darn close with their guess of 1580! This one was close to impossible and your counting skills are unrivaled. Bake yourself a plate of congratulatory cookies and start planning a lineup around the gorgeous Animated Shooting Star you'll have coming your way later on.

As far as honorable mentions go, we had a handful of people who guessed within 250 of the exact number! I know 250 sounds like a large margin of error, but this was a tough one and being off by only 250 pieces means your guess was within ~15% of the actual number. That's no easy feat when we're talking about freakin' confetti.

I may be posting a video in the coming days to show you all just how minuscule the jar and confetti pieces actually are, and how little space 100 of them actually occupy once counted out. If you all demand it, I'll deliver. Let me know below if this is something you all would want to see!

This concludes our TBT Fair 2020 Count Inside the Bottle event. I had a ton of fun with all of you, and I want to thank everyone for the interest and enthusiasm you showed throughout the event! I should be back next time around with more bottles full of fun, that is if I can finish counting the grains of sand before then.

[That Marshal Fangirl]

I was 1000 too little wtf

@Oblivia I just submitted my guess at the last minute and put it under text entry instead of number entry. May you please fix it?

edit: it doesn't matter because I was way off lol

 

[Sheep Villager]

Thank you for hosting!

How long did it take you to count all the confetti? My guess was 973 and I kept thinking I was over-shooting because I kept thinking there was no way you would have the patience to count that many.​

 

[Mars Adept]

Seeing that large number makes me believe that Snowesque deserves that dark candy for only being 3 off.

Yep, got it!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

lmao I went 627.. and my gut was telling me 800 but I thought, "There's no way they would spend the time counting that many!"

 

[Mars Adept]

Wait, does the new thread title imply that there will be another fair in 2021?

They say you become more patient with age.

(it took me about an hour)

 

[mogyay]

the fact u counted them is kind of breath taking, initially i thought my guess was super off but actually 1011 isn't too bad lol, ty for hosting, i had a lot of fun ♥ ♥ ♥

not necessarily a fair but they always have events so!

 

[Zane]

Ooh I knew it was over a thousand but I’m always scared of going too high so I end up under. Still feel ok about 1169 tho. Thanks for hosting!!! Too bad nobody snagged the candy

 

[Chere.]

I can't believe you counted that many individual confetti... Oblivia why do you hurt yourself like this
On another note I guessed 1208 which is 300+ off

 

[IonicKarma]

I'm so mad turns out my math was close after all I talked myself out of it though ;-;

 

[lana.]

what baffles me is how your cat didn’t try to eat all of it while you were counting!

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

i dont feel so bad for guessing 1000+ off since it looks like a lot of people did. my guess was 2498 or something like that LOL i thought overestimating would do me some good

 

[Karmahri]

omg oblivia's patience is unrivaled, mad respect!!
i can't even count to 100 without taking a break

 

[Snowifer]

I was off by so much XD I guessed in the 500's
