Sneaky Surprise - Submissions Closed!

Sneaky Surprise​

As the long night wears on, you notice a new tent on the outskirts of the Carnival, where only dead grass stood before. From inside the tent, you hear a voice shout what sounds like "not another one!". Unnerved, but morbidly curious, you push through the heavy fabric of the tent opening and are hit with a familiar smell. Is that... chocolate?


How to Participate

---

A glass gourd filled with squash-like sweets is pictured below. Using cunning wit, mathematical intelligence, or pure dumb luck (or a dash of all three), you must guess how many chocolate pumpkins are in the jar.

Once you have your guess in mind, head over to the Count Inside the Bottle Submissions Board. Enter your guess in the 'Your Count' numerical field, and select Round 4 from the 'Round' dropdown. The thread body will not be checked, so please do not enter your guess there!

If your guess is not formatted correctly, it will not be counted. Each member is only allowed one guess, and you cannot change your guess once posted.

Please only post your guess in the Count Inside the Bottle Submissions Board, and refrain from discussing your guess publicly until after the correct answer has been posted.

Submissions close Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. EDT.

Prizes

• Participation: 0-130 Bells, depending on how close you are to the correct number

Happy Guessing!​

Chocolate pumpkins! Woohoo! I dunno how close (or far away haha) my guess will be, but I'll enjoy counting!

There were a lot of very close guesses, but two people were right on the money... congratulations to @Azzy & @Saylor for guessing the exact number! Your ghoulishly good gourd guessing has earned you each a Sinister Lantern collectible!

Thank you all for playing! Bells & collectibles will be distributed soon.
