I think that was an older version. I never saw it though-I only started playing WI since last June and the Jellybean Game was broken until September.

Congrats. Now, did you win anything? I've never won the jelly bean challenge but I've always wondered if you win anything and if so, what do you win.

You win a jar of jellybeans-it's not for display, though, only goes inside storage units like coolers and fridges.

Thank you soooo much. I stopped trying because I was so far off. I will try this method and see if it works for me. Thanks for sharing.

I tried on all 6 of my accounts today, and I got an "Oooo..." reply for each, but I never got them.

OK, this isn't working for me.

B-C= 81 mm
C-A= 90 mm
81 divided by 90= 0.9
0.9 x 10,000= 9000
When I guessed 9000 it said "Wow, that's way off!You have 2 more guesses."
And you only tell what to do if you get the "Ooo" answer.

I've been under 200 close, I guessed 5923. That is hard, though!!!!!

WOW! Fantastic work. Do you work as a statistician?
