Barrel Contest Thread ! !

[RRfireblade]

Alrighty , gonna do something simple since I've had a long day , it cold out and.....well that why. :)

Here's a Picture of my room ( It an Egyptian Tomb , at least what you can see of it in the pic)

http://myspace-191.vo.llnwd.net/00359/19/14/359534191_l.jpg


In the corner is a Palm Tree , the one that you can see the whole tree next to TUT. Guess the number of individual leaves on it. Correct guess gets first choice of Barrel , next closest and so on.

I'll give you one hint , there are 21 frons/branches on it.



YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO BE SURE YOUR GUESS IS THE FIRST GUESS FOR THAT NUMBER! I will go down THIS thread post by post, till I get to the winning guess and so on. If you guess an already guessed number you guess is null void. Pay Attention

I'll let this go for a couple days or till the guessing dies down.

Thats it...... Go !!

*** P.S. Please dont guess if you dont want a barrel or dont know what this contest is all about , its not fair to the people who really do and care. Thanks.***

[topazpaintball]

Trick question....

Technically, the leaf is everything distal to the stem past the petiole. Memebers of the order Palmaceae rarely have branches. What you call "fronds" are leaves, but compound leaves with palmately divided segments.. Thus....you have 21 leaves there.

I prefer black.... :D

I think we can safely assume he meant leaflets :ninja:

In that case, I guess 22 (he's technically right, the leaf is made up of multiple leaftlets, as topaz said, but he asked LEAVES)

[GRiFF]

972 leaves. ( not to be a jerk.. its fonDs )

Well stated however....

It's fake , plastic and fabric mearly assembled in the apearance of a plant....tree....or otherwise vertical growing life form of some kind , that is my personaly property , in my posession and of my own purpose and therefore.....

Has hundreds of tiny little green leaves attached to the branches. :)

K...

Actually , I've already figured it out. Like I alluded too , there only are 3 'different' branches (and 1 flume kinda thingy on top) amongs the 20 what ever I said there were so yes...I have counted all 3 branches.

And...

I'll give this one more night so THURSDAY night will be the big night since I gotta get MOTM wrapped up for Friday.

Thanks to everyone who has participated , this kinda turn out really makes doing these little givaways worth it. :headbang:
