+1!!
+1!!
+2! The anticipation is killing me!
it wouldnt suprise me if the pile wasnt accurate and they didnt count anything, they probably just took a random believeable number and went with it.
it doesnt need to be the exact ammount because its not possible to count the exact ammount from that picture so no one can complain

Surely the mods will just look at the post's edited time and if that is after the closing date, it's a void entry...easy
It's a 3D generated image of course they can count the exact amount.

or they had a load of boxes with 100 tubes in. counted the boxes then emptied them all out, and used some simple maths to get the answer.

No they can't. Depending on the orientation of the objects depends on the volume the take up.

yeah i say lock it now....
No what I mean is if the image was generated by a CG programme like Cinema 4D or something then they'd just have plugged in a number into a script to generate that given amount of objects.
Man of Honour
Sounds like a hell of a lot of work when counting is quicker.
much eaier to just tip a pile of tbes on a desk then go to all the trouble of modeling them etc.

why would they do that. the amount of them tubes they must have lying around the place must be staggering. id imagine it took five minutes to gather some up and photograph it
OcUK are clever folk, they will have probably emptied an entire box, say 2000 per box or whatever then taken a handfull and just counted the ones missing rather than counting the vast amounts!
However could take some searching to find the corrct answer you're right.
Or the guy that counted them is now reading your post with his head in his hands wondering why he didn't think of that

To find the winner, could they not just get the values from the sql tables and then order them in excell?
I did a table of the guesses for the first few pages, then got bored.
