Now in the contemplative unbiased weekend, feel free to submit three mores guess to the number of beans in this canister (note: there are 10 beans beside the canister)

Comment your three guesses: highest possible, lowest possible, specific guess

Attempt to make your guesses before you read others guesses -- we all want to be independent guessers.....

I made a google sheet with some harness racing stats. I had to transfer all of the data by hand because when I just copied and pasted, each line went in its own box instead of following the columns… I played around with averages, medians, deviation, and such.

I used the data from this sight:
https://www.racenet.com.au/harness-racing/stats

I will attach my sheet to this comment as a PDF.

My second guess is the jar is empty because you’ve eaten all the tic tacs by now.

My first guess, that I made in class: Lowest: 300.
My guess: 450.

Now, with more research, I would say that the lowest I would believe to be in the jar would be 600.
My guess would be 950.
The highest I would believe would be 1,500 beans.
