Guess my Collection!

Wassup, parrty people!



Decided I should make a game with REAL PRIZES!

So here's the question:

You have to correctly guess my entire collection. That's right. EVERY. SINGLE. ANIMAL.


And the prizes will be either:

40 Blatta lateralis (Turkistan Roaches)

OR

1 subadult Centruroides vittatus


Sorry international people, can't send where you are!
This will end at 8:00 Eastern Standard Time. (USA)

That's a bit too difficult, don't you think?!

hehehe what do you expect from someone aged 212!!!!

depends on what you mean by guess your collection, are you just wanting species names or the exact amount of each species, or even what's male / female / juvi!

this thread could be going for years lmao!

Lemme see, here.

Scientific name and the number of specimens.

Not the cockroaches, though. (I don't even know!)

I already gave you 2 species.

What a silly contest. I'm guessing that nobody is going to win or even attempt it because it's so vague.

Uh...

I can't guess the numbers, but I'll give the species a shot.
T's:
B.boehmei
B.smithi
P.murinus
L.difficilis
H.lividum
G.rosea
B.emilia
Scorpions:
C.vitattus
P.imperator

You seem like you'd keep a dog or a cat. Can I have a life line? Just tell me if I'm missing anything, please.

Hey Gideon, didn't know you were a member here.
Seems someone used to look at my profile on AB. lol

No dogs or cats (at least, not anymore ).

Okay, I'll give another hint.

I keep at least one:

Tarantula

Scorpion

Centipede

Roach

You don't have to guess the number anymore.

8:00 Eastern what day? AM or PM? 'Cause if it's PM, I've already lost.

G. rosea
B. smithi
A. seemani
A. chalcodes
P. regalis

P. imperator

Oops, forgot the date lol.

Great job, Mike.

So who was closest?

You were, but it only counts if you got everything so.

EVERYONE LOST!

Well that was kind of dumb, then. What were the odds of someone ACTUALLY guessing the ten species you own, out of the potentially thousands there could be? It's compounded by the fact that you never specified how many species of each order, or total number of species you keep.

We don't fail at guessing, you fail at contesting.

Wow.

I guess I kind of epic failed, didn't I.

Maybe next time.

Sorry if I came off as a jerk, but my coffee hadn't kicked in.

Rarely does the first draft get it right -- be it a new traffic law or a scorpion-themed contest.
