Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

You have to work in cubes, do lots of math, figure the space around the beans in cubes, keep in mind jelly beans are not all perfect in size, do more math, eat some jelly beans along the way, and then just guessyummyBig Grin
So I took the area of the fridge and the area of the jelly bean and scruntched it all together and got a big mess but it came to around 882,000 loosely but if they mush them in there which the weight will it could be closer to 1,200,00 so I put bothe and settled on my grandmothers old telephone number for the final number!!!

If you take how big a jelly bean is squared and divide it into the squared dimensions of the fridge you should get the lowest possible number. Then you take into account that jelly beans are not square and you should get a number nore in line with actual area.... Or ask our resident guess how many in the jar contest winner!!!! laugh out loud
I can use my new rubber calculator to figure it out. wait

A recent study found that the average American walk's about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that on average American's drink 22 gallon's of alcohol a year.

I got it on my Facebook through Crochet club.

If you go to the site you may be able to get into it. I just tried it and it took me right to the page.

http://www.facebook.com/CrochetingClub

Now that I look at it Crocheting club is giving it away. Sorry for the confusion. The link above will take you to their facebook and you can enter there.

I figured the average jelly bean is about 1 cubic centimeter, but it doesn't have flat sides and they vary,,, took a guess that there's about 1/4 to 1/3 cc air space around them, did the math, figured in the beer, and took my guess. I'm sure my formula woks out the the exact #LMAO
