Matchbox Cars 2

I am a logical fellow. I plan. I plot. I rarely do anything spontaneously. Today, however, I broke that trend by purchasing miniature vehicles at Wal-Mart while I waited for my new actual sized tires. The question becomes, just how spontaneous was I? How many of these cars did I purchase? The person with the closest guess gets points in my ongoing blog competition.

hrm.. well, you didn't buy one because you wouldn't be able to play any games with just one. my guess is that you bought one package of 5 cars

matthew said...

so far, you are winning

I was thinking either a three or five-pack.

Missy said...

i'm gonna say that you bought 9.

matthew said...

you are all so very wrong, but i will also some more guessing until i post something else

last night, btw, i used my new cars i a tournament. all the cars had to compete in each of the 3 games and i kept statistics to determine the overall winner.

I'm going to say you bought 22 cats. Why? because 22 is the perfect number. It was my soccer number, my basketball number and my baseball number. apparently as well this hour has only 22 minutes.

Believe it or not I meant 22 cars. That was an accident.

94?

matthew said...

haha, ok, good guesses

The winner of this competition is Kirk (but only b/c he took the time to switch his guess from 22 cats to 22 cars).

The actual number of cars I bought was 32.

Why 32?

There are many reasons:

1. That makes 4 divisions of 8 cars
2. Allows for a lot of outcomes
3. I wanted 3 kinds of cars
--hot wheels
--matchbox
--wal-mart brand
4. That way, I can have manufactures standings as well
5. 32 is half of the NCAA tournament
6. The walmart cars came with a case that can hold 32 cars.
