How many couplers

Jerome.
Thanks for the neat game you set up. You sure got a lot of action in a short time.
My scientific calculation was less than 10 percent over.
I used the method that is used to guesstimate the number of animals in a herd, or trees in a forest, from the air. I guess it works pretty well.

I woulda been happy to win that boxcar myself, but I'm glad it was won by somebody who actually models the CN!

I was looking at the winners user name and that was the first thing that clicked with me as well. It was almost as if it was meant to be.

Allan, I think you missed the point. The contest is over and the correct number was 294. Good try though.

Its funny my first guess was 250. Then I started counting and came up with 16x. I assumed there were several I couldn't see. Since the couplers came in bulk packages of 50 and 25 my guess was 175 or 200. I could not imagine not being able to see 30 couplers. I did not make a guess that some set were alread installed and gone from the batch. This was fun.

OK, ok, I'll share my secret formula that I used to guess how many couplers were in that pile. But please, keep this to yourselves.
