The post where Currys give me a compact digital camera to give to you

by Caroline Smailes on June 18, 2012

So, I’m thinking the title to this post may have given away any element of surprise. BUT I’m thrilled that I’ve a (fabulously) simple competition for you, from the super kind folk at Currys.

I’ve got THIS compact digital camera to give away, a Samsung compact digital camera (PL121), to one of you lovelies and to be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is answer this simple question (in the comments to this post):

How many compact digital cameras do you think Currys has listed on its website?

  • 85
  • 95
  • 105

To help you, you could click the link above or you could just guess (up to 3 times)… (and the number may vary over the two weeks, so let’s round to the nearest number)

The RULES: This competition will run until 3PM 2 July 2012. There’s no cash alternative and it’s UK entries only (sorry!). All correct entries will be placed in a hat, a small child will select a winner and that decision is final. Individuals cannot enter more than 3 times each (if you do, I’ll stamp my feet).

(Good luck!)

I half-suspect the answer may be 105 but as I want to get in all my entries I’ll go for 95 this time.

Reply

Maryom June 18, 2012 at 9:00 am

…or it could be 85?

Reply

Maryom June 18, 2012 at 9:01 am

No. Just to be on the safe side, one last try. 105!!

Jo Carroll June 18, 2012 at 9:07 am

The consensus seems to be 105, so that’s my answer too!

105.

They claim to have 103, but since some of them are red/black /pink versions of the same camera, I’ll be awkward and go for 95.

Reply

Angi June 18, 2012 at 9:26 am

But it could be 85

Reply

Angi June 18, 2012 at 9:26 am

Or even 105.

I’m going to say 105 and hope that they don’t discontinue loads over the next two weeks.

Reply

Matt June 18, 2012 at 11:42 am

On second thoughts I’ll also go with 95 in case they do take a few off.

105.

Give or take a couple! (It was 103 when I looked!)

This is a fun competition. Thank you for running it!

fairyhedgehog June 18, 2012 at 12:40 pm

Okay, someone said that some of the cameras listed are duplicates but in different colours. So my second guess is 95.

Reply

fairyhedgehog June 18, 2012 at 12:41 pm

And I might as well cover all bases, so just in case there are loads of duplicates, or that Curry’s has a massive camera cull over the next week, my third guess is 85.

I guess that’s it then.

105 - fingers crossed :)

Currently it says 103 so I’m going for 105 please.

Reply

thelastressort June 18, 2012 at 5:28 pm

well since we’re rounding I’ll go for 105.

Thanks Caroline & Currys! Will be keeping my fingers cross :)

Geoff June 18, 2012 at 5:31 pm

It seems to depend on which page you look at! I had numbers from 100 to 105 but I’m going to plump for….

105!

P.S. If Clara doesn’t make it to the UK, can I have her cake?
P.P.S. Is the small child susceptible to cake derived bribes?

Reply

Mark June 18, 2012 at 5:34 pm

Guess #1: 105 (as they have 102). It’s different colours, but if Currys count each colour as a camera in its own right, then I’ll do that too (for competition purposes). So blue X1 and red X1 are separate cameras; i.e. 2.

105!!!!!!xxxxx

Mark June 18, 2012 at 5:35 pm

Second guess: 105.
Third guess: 95 (just in case!).

Thanks for running this, Caroline! :D

I think it’s really how you’re giving away something that was given to you! The answer is 105 and the number seems to increase every few minutes!

Drew June 18, 2012 at 8:42 pm

Downith June 19, 2012 at 1:16 pm

Page says it’s showing 1-12 of 129 so I’m going with 129.

Reply

Caroline Smailes June 19, 2012 at 1:23 pm

It’s clearly jumped up since yesterday - round to the nearest number from the 3 given in the post x
