Today at work, there was a contest to see who could guess how many coffee beans were in this pot that was on display. The winner would receive two free Red Sox tickets.
How freaky is it that someone guessed the exact amount of beans? There were 4732 in the pot, and some fresh-from-Harvard's-MBA-program consultant nailed it. Was this a case of Rainman? Random? Rigged?
The cynic in me wants to say rigged, or wants to suspect that cheating was somehow involved. It's too weird to be random.
The other question is, what poor soul counted them to begin with?
And in case you're wondering, my guess was a couple of thousand beans off the mark. Pffft - not like I wanted to see the Red Sox anyway.
