2372?

It's sorta sad that it apparently has to be exact. There's a lot of possible numbers.

[Anna++]

Do I have to say a number in my post?

Code Select Expand


    guess = 1
    while (guess is not correct):
        guess = guess + 1


That'll eventually guess the right answer

But some have already been guessed, keep trying!

I will!  Problems can always be solved by throwing more code around!

... the answer isn't 42 is it?

<looking at the hundreds of jelly beans visible in the photo> Nope, 42 ain't it.

You're only showing us one side of the jar.  For all we know they could be taped to the edge

896?

[Devlyn]

Do I look like I have the patience to tape 896 jelly beans to the inside of a jar?

That's why I guessed 42 first.  How about 1988?  (I'll go big this time)

You're on a seek and destroy mission!

I'm using numbers that have a basis elsewhere, like my  birthyear, the number of bytes in a kb, etc. 

Can't hurt, my dog would love the jelly beans.

[Devlyn]

Eww, rainbow dog poop!

Eww, rainbow dog poop!

lol, you should have seen what came out of him when he was a puppy and ate a bunch of socks and doll clothes that belonged to the little girl that lived next door while she and her friend were playing with him. It was like a rolled up quilt.
