The container! (I know, I know it's an apple and not a banana, I'm awful!)
I have been collecting all the bottlecaps that have been discarded at my place since I moved in 5 and a half years ago. I never really had any clue what I wanted to do with all of them (I still really don't actually!) Sadly, I am about to move in the next couple weeks, and the stockpile must go...so I got an idea!
Being the huge Fallout fan (nerd) that I am, I initially thought about just mailing them into Bethesda as a joke..but someone beat me to the punch! (http://imgur.com/gallery/KlqPB) After a lot of thought I decided, why not have some fun with this? Why not GIVE AWAY a free copy of Fallout 4 to someone and make this a kick-ass contest?!
So that's what we're gonna do! Guess how many caps are in this container and the person who gets the closest without going over (Price is Right rules!) will win a free copy of Fallout 4 for the platform of your choosing!
The Rules!
1. This post must reach the front page (sorry if this upsets some people, but I think its only fair this be a requirement, plus I think the more people that participate in this, the more fun it will be)
2. The person who gets the closest guess without going over will win
3) In the event of a tie, I will determine the winner with a tie breaking question (The Question will be: How many different types of bottlecaps are in the container?)
4a. To enter, please reply to the comment posted by me that says: Entries go here! (so we can keep all entries in one place!)
4b. Your comment should contain two numbers: Your guess for how many caps are in the container, and your guess for how many different types of caps are in the container (in the event of a tie)
5. Any guesses made outside this comment thread will not be counted.
6. Anyone who posts multiple guesses will be disqualified
7. The winner will be announced in a post on July 20th at around 8pm PDT
8. I will notify the winner via Imgur so we can coordinate delivery. The winner may pick Fallout 4 for any platform of there choosing!
9. The size of the container is: 23.5" tall with a 7" diameter
10. Proof of Purchase will be posted! (OP will deliver!)
Dog Tax!
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
Update: The results have been posted! http://imgur.com/gallery/lJFe1

I have to be honest here- I initially clicked for the dog picture.

Is mayonnaise a number?
DarmokAndJaIadAtTanagra
what a ridiculous fucking question. everyone knows mayonnaise is a gender.
SquidJesus
Is math a sandwich? Yes? Then yes.
SirSage
Yeah but you still need to guess how many types of caps. Double mayonnaise is a bold strategy
psulja
Mayonnaise a lotta caps up in here

OP Can I have the cap collection of you're done with it? I want to add it to my own collection to make art!

Good thing you stopped filling it where you did or else some of them could ... ¬_¬ Fallout.

So basically you're paying to get to FP and to get a trophy for making a comment with many replies, right? Better deliver.

I want those bottle caps SO BAD. Please tell me you aren't tossing them in the trash?
imalaserpewpew
I got a TON of people asking for them! I probably will have some sort of drawing for them. Im not entirely sure. Ill let you know!
quisp99
This may become the most commented post ever.

The amount of time it takes to fully load the 'entries go here' thread is absolutely insane. So long!
StarrryNight
At least finding the number is easy, just ctrl+F and you can type in the number to scan through, That's how I chose my number :)

"Accounts that were created after the start of this challenge cannot compete" 2/2.
ravnicrasol
One thing, I think you should add a clause that "If two entries are equal in caps and types the first one will be considered" and 1/2

I'm on mobile and my app crashes every time I try to open it
CrystalEnigma
I tried to load them when there were around 5,000 on my phone and my phone restarted.
gigafish
I wonder if you could ask Imgur to export all the comments to a spreadsheet for you
TacoPrime
Or just ctrl+f at the number and go down by 1 until found....or just say I win : )
BitterBasketCase
Haha I wonder who's gonna be that guy that makes multiple accounts for this thingo.

Using an apple for scale is like using the metric system.

Superior in every way?

A banana is like metric, because it's the normal way to do things.

I don't want Fallout 4. Have you got Battletoads?
FrankBrayman
So many responses, and no one said "$1, Bob?" Guys, these are Price is Right rules. SOMEBODY has to say $1.

I was gonna compete and then I realized that I don't even know what Fallout 4 is.

What would it take for you to ship them? I happen to be in need of approximately the number in that container.

Wait til you find out what it all means! Then wait to see how they try to piece back together all the holes....
robthepilgrim
Instead of downvoting you Ima say this: You are wrong! I enjoyed LOST even tho it didn't tie everything up completely :P still enjoyable.

Oh yeah still well worth the watch. Just some things leave you with HUH

Guys there's more comment than upvotes lets get this upvote to the front page so he can deliver
jimicos
Dude's got a framed poster for Clone Wars. He can keep the game. He needs it more.
HughLaurie
Closest without going over for this type of thing doesn't make much sense. A person could lose by going 1 over to someone 50 under.
Thellluminati
For one, it cuts the chance for a tie in half. For another, it just adds another aspect to the game.

I'll trade you all these 10mm Pistols I stole from dead people I killed for those caps. How many pistols do you want? I have many pistols.

Do you have the matching blood stained clothing?
SquidJesus
No, but I have clothing and blood packs.

And 3 spears....stupid cheap tribesman...

Do you think they accept dildos? I don't know why I have been collecting them but I think most humans like these for some reason.
ohbeckayyy
I would absolutely pay for those bottle caps
Wunch
Whats the going rate for bottle caps, I've probably got 5 times as many as that.

Wow, didn't realize how many people don't know how to follow rules or read

The amount of dedication and time I put into down-voting all the guesses outside OP's comment makes me question why I suck at relationships

Jesus Tap-dancing Christ! 3500 entries so far?! 0.O Looks like I have some bottlecap counting to do this weekend!
BasmatiRice
Tell me the truth, you're going to eyeball it too, isn't it? :D
ialwaysplaydove
you should tally the guesses and average them to see how close that gets to the actual. wisdom of crowds and whatnot
JustALittleLost
I like all the people who can't follow the simple rules......
HughesClues
I like how dumb the rules are
imalaserpewpew
Haha right?! So many of them!
HakunaMatataBruh
There are more than 6000 entries. Jesus fucking titties. Good look sorting through all of that OP!
Lalael
I do! I like the idea that one of them gets it right and loses for failing to follow simple instructions!
PleaseHoldMyCandle
They don't read. Also I downvoted the post because I'm constipated.
HeyyYouDontSayThat
I like that op has to sort through 1900 comments from the people who did follow the rules.
SergeantKnickerlessArsewipe
Orr, once he's counted the caps and types, he can expand the comments, CTRL+F and search for numbers
HeyyYouDontSayThat
Yeah... Or that. I'm not too computer savvy I guess. I'd be looking at comments all day. Haha

Wait, better question is, what are you doing with the caps?? Can I has? I'm in the process of making stuff with them!
