How Many?

Here's a little something fun for all my blog readers!

Can you guess how many buttons are in this button jar?


Tip: There are 100 buttons in the pile in front of the jar.

Whoever is closest to the actual amount, will win a small
prize!
Ends: January 2, 2010

P.S. My sister and I counted the whole jar today,
(just for fun:) and it took a long time.
:)

UPDATE: I realized after I posted the above, that I
probably should have given measurements! The
jar height is about 13 and 1/2" and the width is
around 8". If you would like to re-guess, you are
welcome to do so! :)

Wow, that is a lot of buttons! I'd hate to have to count all of those! LOL!

My guess is 1,050.

Ruth Ann said...

Amy! Oh my goodness, y'all must have been bored or something. =) That's funny. =)

I'm horrible at these kind of things but I'll give it a stab: 2,000 [probably way off but hey, at least it is a number!]

Abigail said...

Wow! that's a LOT of buttons; I guess it did take a long time to count them. :) My guess is 3,111.

Micah said...

Lydia said...

My guess is 3500.

I was thinking 3200 to begin but you have to take into account all those small ones.

What is the prize? =)

Cora Beth said...

Thanks for posting a comment on my blog! You guessed correctly... :)

I'll take a guess, um, let's see....... How about 1,756 buttons? How ever many there are, it must have taken quite a while to count them!

Grace said...

That must have taken forever to count!:)

Well anyway my guess is...5954 :)

HOPE said...

Oh how 'bout...3,450

I can imagine all the various sizes!

Great idea!

Anna B. said...

Wow, Amy. It must've taken hours to count all those! My guess is 2,650.

Jenifer said...

Oh my, I had one thought but after the measurements of the jar I am inclined to go with another number but then it seems like that number is too big so maybe I'll go with one in between. ;)

3037 :D

Rebekah said...

Wow, that is a lot of buttons! Ever think about putting them on strings and making necklaces like Laura and Mary Ingalls used to do?

Hmm....I'm going to take a rough stab in the dark and say... 2,684!! :)

Thanks for the fun challenge, and I hope y'all had a blessed Christmas!

I can't believe you counted ALL of those...it must have taken quite a bit of time! :-) ;-) ;-)


By the way, they are beautiful buttons!

This is a big number but I will say "6000".

Elizabeth Pruett said...

Okay, since I get to guess again, I will continue my theme and go with 6789! Oh, and by the way, according to your dates, this contest ended a year ago. Happy New Year!
