CSU iPod Winner

Remember the Global Technology Office  booth and the glass jar of M&M's? You registered a guess. So did 1,165 other people. Thanks for taking the time to stop by our booth and make a guess.

And the winner is...

And the actual number of M&M's in the jar is: 2,166. We had them actually counted by two people two times each!

David Robbins of Campus Ministry guessed 2,168. So did Doug Kennedy of NAMESTAN AOA Office. This left us with an unexpected need for two iPods.

Because David was the first with the closest guess, we have sent him the iPod. But we couldn’t ignore Doug who also guessed the same number, 2 days later. So we have sent Doug an iPod Mini.

Some other interesting information

Total number of guesses: 1,166
Low guess: 132
High guess: 135,000
Correct answer: 2,166 M&Ms (counted twice by two people)
Average of all guesses: 2,328
Average was within 7% of correct amount, even with huge variations in the guess

The average was more accurate than 93% of all the people who guessed.

The wisdom of the crowd

There is an important principle at work here. All of us together are smarter than most of us individually. This is the body concept at work. Want to read more about this? Click here...

Our office exists to help identify and foster digital strategies which will help make sure that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus. Thank you for visiting our booth. Thank you for registering your M&M guess. We look forward to working with you as we all contribute our knowledge, share with others, and learn from each other.

Serving Christ with you,
