45 jelly beans

So in my psychology lesson the other week we were learning about conformity. There was a test performed ages ago where a group sat around a table and they guessed how many jelly beans were in the picture. So we decided to do it as a class.

So I guessed around 150 jelly beans , whilst I was trying to count them, and then people escalated upwards up to 500 jelly beans. But, then it came to getting the opinion of our friend Peachey and she did good and decided to go with her original opinion and not adhere to conformity. 45! That was her answer. Even though just by looking at the picture you could see there was more than that.

Though Kudos to her for sticking with it even though she knew she possibly was wrong, the probability that anyone was actually correct in our class was near impossible but, hey.
