Members Alecks Posted June 29, 2016 Members Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just now, Rant said: Let's establish a few facts so future guesses can be less stupid: There is an absolute minimum number of 85 coins. (Which is obviously not the answer considering you can see nickels in the picture) There is an absolute maximum number of 425 coins. (Which is also obviously not the answer because you can see quarters in the picture) There must be an odd number of coins. (You can't make 2125 by adding even numbers) Wow, thanks, Jake! Now I can more easily formulate my plan to win this contest. I'll be guessing soon based off of this info ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Communism Posted July 3, 2016 Author Advanced Members Share Posted July 3, 2016 The correct number was 149 (69 quarters, 80 nickels), which means that the winner is @Sergi, who guessed 152 (which was technically an impossible number, but hey, he was still closest.) As @Rant explained, and as a few other people seemed to discover, only 84 different numbers were actually possible (89, 93, 97, ... count by 4 up to 421), so good job to anyone who figured that out. Please contact @Muffins to get your prize Sergi. Thanks to everyone for participating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
