Hello 2024 and January HPUD Guessing Contest
Happy New Year everyone! I just finished watching the London new year fireworks on TV, something that I enjoy doing every year. This year was the first year I feel grateful I made it through to another year. Must be a sign of growing old 🙃
Anyway, my first post of 2024 and it's an HPUD one. Normally I like to power up to round numbers, but with new year I figured I'd do something different and power up to 1111111 to kick off the first HPUD of the year. Sadly I can't count properly and got my sums wrong and ended up with 111,122 😅
January HPUD Guessing Contest
I got a tin of truffles for Christmas this year. They came in a cone shape tin like a Christmas tree and it has a light at the bottom. The tin lights up like a Christmas tree through the little holes on the side. It's lovely to turn it on in the evenings.
The tin was filled with truffles when I got it but since its been a few days, I'm gradually making my way through it 😋
This is all that's left. And the first HPUD Guessing Contest of 2024 is to guess
how many truffles are there?
It's the new year and of course I'm going to be nice and give you a clue! There are around 12 to 20 truffles here.
This year I'm going to change my prize pool to make it more in line with the spirit of HPUD. The winner who guess correctly or the nearest to the correct answer will get 100 Hive powered up to your account. If there are more than one winner, you will share the 100 HP. And same as previous, if you win and powered up on HPUD I will double your win. As usual, I will upvote your entry and the % will be based on your level of engagement as the whole reason I started this HPUD Guessing Contest was to drive up quality engagement on Hive. Good luck everyone and have a great 2024!!

Happy new year @livinguktaiwan it's really a blessing to witness the new year. My guessing to the contest will be 15 truffles.
Happy new year to you as well!
Haha. The ability to to do simple sums is inversely proportional to the quantity of alcohol imbibed by volume, I believe.
The London fireworks were awesome yet again but the drones creating the kid blowing bubbles were on another level!
Happy New Year. Best wishes to you and your loved ones :-)
Damn! That was the only moment I turned to my phone coz of all the pinged messages coming in and hubs commented how cool that bit was. Now I got to rewatch it.
I wish you all the best for 2024 and enjoy the rest of your time in miserable UK before you head back to the sun 🌞
Defo, that drone show was incredible!! I liked the theme of inclusion too.
That's pretty tough but I'm going to say that there are 16 of them.
Happy new year!
Advanced happy new year @leaky20, hope you're enjoying your new year's eve and getting ready for a 2024!
I have watched those fireworks on TV most times and I always love the way it looks and sounds which is awesome and beautiful. My guess to the contest would be 17.
Happy New year
Happy new year and good luck!
Happy New Years a few hours it will be here. I doubt my old butt will make it until midnight, haha. I'll guess 17 it would be easy if it was my Christmas tin there would be zero truffles, haha
Haha! I been stuffing myself non stop all week, I've only just got round to attack this tin😆.
Happy advance new year greetings to you and all the best for 2024!
Fortunately not much alcohol during celebrations so I'm not seeing double; I'll go for 16 of those! 😁
May you have an awesome 2024! Cheers! !BEER
Likewise to you as well @pardinus, all the best for 2024!

BEER.Hey @livinguktaiwan, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @pardinus for you. Enjoy it!We love your support by voting @detlev.witness on HIVE .
you wrote 1111111 or 7 1's and I was like dayum, that's a lot of hive power. 16 truffles.
here for the long run, been building my stake, who knows maybe I can retire thanks to Hive in the coming years! Happy new year!
You're almost at 80 reputation, which means you deserve to retire in part thanks to Hive. But please don't stop Hive'n in retirement :D I'll be building my stakes rapidly too starting this year. Retirement is still a good decade off and I love my job.
Happy New Year @livinguktaiwan! May you and family be blessed more this 2024.💖🥂🎉💐🍾
I'd say 15 for the truffles 🤞
All the best for 2024 to you and your family @gems.and.cookies!
Good. Happy 2024 to you too. I hope you count at least 16 truffles. May this year be better than the last.
I'm sure 2024 will be a better year for everyone!
Happy New Year!! I didn't even consider doing something fun like powering up to 111111. I just threw in 500. Hmm.. Next HPUD I'll have to see if I can get a more fun number.
I say 18.
500 power up is an awesome boost @dbooster !!!! Congrats on that, and best wishes for 2024!
Thanks 😃
A good feeling to witness 2024 in good health and my guess to the contest would be 14 truffles.
Good health and best wishes to you as well
16
What else. The container acts as a nice decor too.
1 is your answer this month?
I like the container but it's a big dangerous if you have kids around, the top is very pointy, I'm surprised they did that as UK is very big on health and safety sometimes to the extent it gets stupid
Seems like a bug. I tried to edit and this is what is showing.
I'll update to put a space before but may as well change to 16 but that still didn't work. Had to remove the "."
Thanks for checking out
17 :)
short and sweet
16
Good luck
hmmm I see 17 truffles are there, but my answer is 18. 18 is a good number because rarely people put in an odd number of truffles.
ha ha, love a bit of logic. But don't forget I ate some as well!!! Good luck with your answer
It was a nice experience the first time I watched the fireworks on TV. I am grateful we made it into a new year. Your stake is so impressive. Congratulations on your power up and happy New year to you @livinguktaiwan
My guess to the contest will be 15 truffles
Hope you enjoyed the fireworks. Which country's did you watch?
If you hang around and Hive for long enough and keep staking, you'll grow your stake as well. I see you have some liquid Hive in savings. Other than keeping it safe, it doesn't serve any purpose. You're much better powering up and let it earn more rewards for you if you want to grow your stake
Happy new year☺️☺️
I am guessing 16 Truffles
Happy new year to you as well!
Wow, you're also starting the year with a bang, that's a load of powering up, a big congratulations!
It's too early to be counting truffles after a very late night, and being woken up way too early by a guest needing to leave early, but my guess is 15.
I would love to have one please, what a beautiful container!
Happy new Year to you @livinguktaiwan!
That's very inconsiderate of the guest!! Did they not tell you in advance they need to check out early?
Start of the new year, I hope everything goes nice and smooth for you this year Lizzie
The guests always tell me if they need to check out early, but there's always one 'fly in the ointment', I was not impressed!
I hope this will be a good year, but, like that phrase says
I do believe it will be a year of acceptance, healing and building new memories.
Thank you so much for your very kind wishes @livinguktaiwan xxx
Those are a lot of truffles. I'd go with 16.
A happy new year to you🌼
Happy new year to you as well!
Hahaha, I couldn't help but laugh when you said this, hehe.
No one is getting any younger 🥺.
Never seen the London fireworks before, I'd look out for it next year, I guess it must be incredible 🥳.
For my guess, I'd go with 12 🤍
Happy new year ma'am, do have a blessed year ahead and happy hive power up 🚀
I'm biased, so I'm going to say the London fireworks is the best! But Sydney is always very impressive, and this year I thought Brazil was really awesome.
All the best for 2024 for you as well.
Hahaha, at least you know you want to be biased but then I think it would be really nice. I'd get to find out next year! Hehe
Thank you so very much 😄 for the best wishes, I wish you more 🥰
Happy new year and HPUD ! 111K HP is pretty awesome - nice work !
I'm going to guess 20 truffles.
All the best for 2024 !

Happy New Year! this is so confusing but mu guess would be 17 truffles. :)
If it's too simple then it would be no fun!!!
Happy New Year 🎉. Haha, I am glad you are seeing a sign of growth (old), lol.
And... to the truffles even if none came my way, hehe, my guess will be 14.
We're all growing older everyday, the secret is to stay mentally young - but not naive!
Yes, mentally strong is needed but naivety... hmm???.
Happy New Year, P.!!!
I'm going to guess 16 truffles!
If that tin was on my place... It will be empty by now! Ahahah
I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for your coz you'd be burning off the calories gained in no time!!!
No!!!! Don't say that... I over 40yo... and you know how the advance of the age has a huge effect on the burn effect on calories... I have to be very cautious with the amount of calories/type of food that I eat! Trust me!
Happy new year everyone, I would say there are 14 in there
Good luck!
Happy New Year to you @livinguktaiwan. I couldn't watch the fireworks on TV as I was at Church but I'm glad we're all having the best time on this first day. My guess is 15 truffles.
Have a wonderful day.🤗
Although I'm not religious, I know attending midnight mass is equally important for a Christian. Good luck with your entry.
With my practically non existent current Hive engagement, I feel like I don´t deserve to participate in this HPUD guessing contest so let me just wish you and your family Happy New Year :)

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 12/52) Liquid rewards.
Of course not, everyone can take part, it's all part of the fun!!!
You've been busy with little Flora, how's she doing? I hope you all had a beautiful first Christmas and New Year as a family.
Well, not just that actually. We are about to move to another city (with much more stuff than usually), I´m also looking for a job etc. So our extremely busy times continue but we did enjoy our holidays and Flora has been doing great, thanks for asking :)
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Diré 13.
🎉😁
Happy new year to you as well!
Happy new year to you. Have a blessed year ahead.
Coming towards the guess, I have observed it really closely and I will say there were 18 of total.
Good luck with your observation
Ahh it is very difficult to guess this, my eyes will hurt when I look at the screen for a long time, so I will guess 16. I hope I gave the right answer :P 100 HP would be very useful for me to reach my goal. Happy new year and I hope all our wishes come true!
I think the shiny wrapping paper doesn't help either! Hope your eyes are not hurting too bad from counting.
All the best for 2024!
Happy new year to you and a prosperous one. No doubt the hpud guessing cobtest is definitely a way to spice up things on a day like this. I wish o can actually have some of those truffles,they look really nice.
Any ways ,My guess would be 14 truffles.
They were definitely very nice, the different colour wrapping had different flavours inside.
Good luck with your guess.
Thanks
I'm going for 16 truffles! !LOL

ENTER @WIN.HIVE'S DAILY DRAW AND WIN HIVE!
Get in there, the first HPUD of the year is here and with it one of my favourite contests to enter and one of the most generous too I might add, great prizes! Unlucky with the quest for 111,111 - you'll just have to wait for 222,222 :)
My guess is 18 for the truffles. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Truffles..... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
222,222 will take forever!! I worked out based on the rate from 100k to here, it will take me over 3 years to get to 200k, though of course if we have a bull run I might get there a tad quicker.
All the best for 2024!!!
You won't feel 2027 coming around, 222,222 could be very valuable by then!
First of all, I wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2024 🎉I wouldn't mind such a sweet gift for myself . As for the number of truffles, my first answer would be - not enough 🤣 But since I'm guessing, I'll say 16. Enjoy your truffles 😜
ha ha!!! That must be the best and most correct answer!!!! 😂
I wish you all the best for 2024 as well!!!
😀 Thank you!
I'm really bad at guessing haha but I'll try anyways ,I think it's 17
It's all part of the fun!! Good luck!
Congratulations @livinguktaiwan! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Happy New Year, Pauline!
My best wishes to you and yours for this New Year.
Hehe, is it? It's the second year this has happened to me 😉
About the truffles, my guess is 16.
If we've only just started to think this way, I guess we're still young, all good 😀
My best wishes to you and your family as well Eliana!
Happy New Year, I am going to say 17, because there were 18, you ate one, then took the photo! We had a great party on NYE and watched the fireworks too, was great fun but yesterday, we felt wiped out!
It's years since I been to a NYE party, I really miss the vibe. Maybe it's another sign of growing old and wanting to stay in 🙃 Anyway, glad you guys had great time, and all the best for 2024!
Thanks!
Happy new year! Hope you have a blissful year ahead 😊
My wild guess would go for 13 truffles.
Same to you as well, all the best for 2024!
I'm better at eating than guessing the number of chocolates but I'll try: I say 17
Happy new year and congrats for your Hive Power that is a big stake
Thanks.
btw, I keep forgetting to drop by your holozing liquidity pool post to thank you for your explanations. I did my first liquidity pool based on that 😃
And happy new year to you, I hope all your investments rocket this year
Thanks a lot because if you used Hive's liquidity pools for the first time then my post achieved the goal I set for that post and that is to help those who did not know or had not tried liquidity pools.
Thanks again your comment made me very happy
Have a wonderful day and year

Hello, congratulations on the increase in your hp, also a happy year 2024, my answer is 13
Good luck with your guess, and all the best for 2024!
Hello happy new year @livinguktaiwan , wisdom begins to manifest with gratitude, you are not older you are wiser 😆.
What a cute packaging I love it and those truffles must be delicious.
There are 20 siiii I already won. 🥳
Hello, and happy new year to you!
It's great to see you hear every month and I hope you will start winning this year! Good luck!
16 left 136 eaten?
Happy New Year
ha ha! I lost count of how many I ate this Christmas.
All the best for 2024 Stephen!
cheers you too Pauline
Happy New Year Auntie! Kids have loved enjoying these truffles too! Then again, my kids love anything chocolate.
I didn't get a chance to watch the fireworks as the kids kept waking up due to all the fireworks that the neighbours were letting off. I will have to watch them but I have heard the little boy blowing bubbles is really good!
We guess there may be 16 truffles left.
Those truffles would not last a day in your house!!! Or an hour if your kids knew how to open the tin!!! Actually the tin is not child friendly at all, that's why I had to hide it
so the children won't eat them allto protect the children 🙃Make sure you keep the tin, use it for something else, put my guess at 16.
PS. If you have a spare witness vote, can you vote me as a new witness I am trying to get going.
I'm trying to think what to do with the tin coz it is quite nice. I might end up just hoarding it.
Happy New Year @livinguktaiwan. I hope this year will bring happiness and love for you. My guess is 16 😂.
The answers will be revealed very soon, good luck!
Thank you, I shall appreciate your final announcement.
