Coin in a Jar

A puzzle with a reward for a "Lucky" reader! - The results are in! - 103 pounds

(See below for the “answer” to the “puzzle”)

OK readers here - in 2024 I’m going to do this sort of thing on occasion. The image below is of coins in a big jar - I’ve been adding slowly but surely for decades into this jar now and there is a “reward” to be offered for anybody that can either guess:

1. The weight of the jar, OR

2. The value of the coinage within.

Plus, as a benefit, I show a 50-amp connecting “wire” for use with a generator. This thing might come in hand if the power goes out. Also, you may notice there is a pair of shoes in the background - I just got these shoes and they were worth the price I paid.

OK - here is the image:

Oh - the bars on the top of the pile in the jar - are they coin?

~~~~~~ edit - time for a question! ~~~~~~~~

I ask this question - fair and square so to speak - if anybody had seen this image first could they have predicted the image above?

Some of us “out there” we know our place - we love our children and we play for keeps.

I swear I did this already or I meant to do this just fore the power went out - anyhow - I’ll do it now - here is an article I want to reference in regards to this post - comes from a fella living in South Africa now after “Plan B” ambitions were successful one reckons…..anyhow, I think that I think that fella aforementioned I was thinking bout pretty much has his accounting marbles in order - and that is something I respect.

In fact - I salute P&S!

If this is a “double-post” then so be it….if you have a guess and your want a random coin from the jar if you get the closest then make you guess cause time is of the essence.

time as I type this is …..11024 1939

Hey - another edit - time now is 11024 1945 - this is fun…

Make you guess if you want a random coin!

~~~~~~~~~~ Edit: 11124 820 - THE RESULTS ARE IN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These images speak for themselves:

(I might could lose a few pounds…..now the jar….

Had to get close to capture the reading - total weight 103 pounds!

I guess that means - I’m the winner!

I should have stuck with my first guess I suppose, which was 105……but then I upped it to 116.6 - which is 13.6 pounds over. The next closest guess was from the fine Amaterasu Solar who speculated 73 pounds, which is 30 pounds under.

Therefore, being the “author” was the closest of the amazing 3 guesses - I swear I thought there might be more - the author keeps ALL the coins for the time being and no personal message will be sent - this time! Maybe somebody else will get the next puzzle.

Go Bills!

a late edit - this post is over, the final weight determined, the conversation finished and a winner maybe but who cares about winners and losers when the discourse is positive - that creates energy of its own and it deserves some good music - so let me share this:
