nice!! I'm sure I'll have a jellybeans in jar puzzle at some point lol

I do think the bowl/container in today's puzzle was deceptively big, but really I'm not trying to deceive y'all!

I was surprised they all fit in there, to be honest. I counted them and then placed them in. Maybe a view from the bottom would have helped people!

Today's puzzle is a little easier than yesterday!

Small bit of feedback: the loading screen is light, but the loaded screen is dark, causing a flash! Would be good to make them the same. Also, I had to press Ctrl+F5 to get the update banner to show at the top, I just noticed my share message was different than yours

It's accurate within 1%, but I could add some kind of disclaimer for puzzles like this! This puzzle I only counted 20% and inferred the rest based on weight sampling, but the others I counted all of them by hand

Haha, I enjoy counting! There's something meditative about it. And no problem, I've been meaning to make this game for a long time, I'm happy some people like it!

It's new! I've been working on it for over a month and today's puzzle is only the 11th so far! I love when daily games have stats so I'm trying to have some fun ones with graphs, glad you like them :D

[โ€“] aukspot@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I manually counted 20% of them, then I used a high precision scale to calculate the rest based on their weight (as well as the weight of other samples)! So the "true" answer should be very close to the given answer, like within 1%. How do you feel about me inferring the answer based on the weight of samples? I'm interested in what people think about that. This is the only puzzle I've done it for.

I hope y'all enjoy today's puzzle!

A leaderboard is a fun idea, I'll see what I can do!

 

Hi! This is "Estimate Me", it's a game I've been working on, currently in beta! You estimate something new every day, and today's is a pile of cheeto puffs on a plate. You have 3 guesses and each time you will be told if it is more or less than your guess! I'm testing out a ranking system for each puzzle, so you can see how you did compared to other players, and your rank should show up in the "Share results" clipboard copy. Let me know what you think!

There's also an archive, so you can try any past puzzle :)
