My occasionally snarky thoughts on everything from motherhood, politics, life and current events. Cocktails are sometimes mandatory. Bottoms up!

Atlantic City here I come!

Okay, so not really... Though it does have a bit of appeal.

That's just the destination of the folks from today's Brain Bender. Ready to play??

--------------------

The local travel agency held a contest. The person who came the closest to guessing the correct number of shells in a big jar would win a weekend in Atlantic City. Nancy guessed 71, Bob guessed 68, Carol guessed 69, Don guessed 75, Ellen guessed 67 and Paul guessed 70.

One was correct, two were off by 1, one was off by 2, one was off by 5, and one was off by 3.

How many shells were in the jar?

--------------------

Whoohoo! I hope that whoever wins is generous with the others, they were all very close! And like always, the answer will appear later in the comments.
