Winners on page two!

New contest!

Guess how many plant pots I have on my patio and inside my house.

I have a collection of indoor and outdoor plants. I just counted how many pots I have to water. Now it's your turn to guess. biggrin

Contest will run until someone correctly guesses within above/below 5 pots or until September 23 (first day of fall!) and the winner will be the closest guess.


Hints:
  • I have more than 50 plants but less than 200


Rules:
  • You can't double post. So that means if you post, you need to wait for someone else to post before posting again
  • One guess per post
  • No late night visits to pirhan's house to count


Prize:
  • Your item choice of up to 499GC from the Cash Shop. (Though, if you want two items and the total goes a bit above 499GC, that's fine too. :3 )

As for my guess i'll throw 117 out there as a good start.

78.


I can't even imagine how much water would need to be brought through the house for that. My patio has maybe 20 plants and needs me to walk over to the sink three times with a 2L, IF I don't water them all because I gave up after 3 bottles.

Renkon Root guesses 120.

(BTW, is this one of those contest where the closest guess gets it or one where the guess has to be spot-on?)

Most are pretty small and I have a few succulent ones that only get watered every few weeks. Plus, my flat is really tiny (600 feet) so it takes five seconds to go from the sink to the patio. I'll take a picture once the contest is over. :3

Great guesses so far! heart heart

For my second guess i'll go with 142
PostPosted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:44 pm


I'm going to guess 62!

(I am seriously thinking you are in the lower section of that range, no way someone has the patience to water 150+ potted plants!)
