Would be interesting to hear skilo's explanation of how Tannu Tuva is an island.

Your Olympics set is on the way, with a few extras. I thought I had some islands stamps around, but I've been giving away a lot of stuff, or maybe they're in a glassine somewhere in my stamproom rubble.

That's not true if the flies are Drosophila melanogaster.

Should give it another shot since there appears to be no one interested in Oz kiloware, what about ... 26 pgs!?

Sorry Mr Pitronix but you will have to try again.

I shall post up more pages tomorrow. I am to tired tonight

Jacob.

Don't forget my offer of free kiloware to the right guess of how many pages I have.

Come on join in the fun and have a go.

This tends to transform into private counting thread (Why am I fighting for Oz kiloware, must be some sort of philatelic greed ) but I can't resist it 33

Ohh Mr Pitronix you must admit the game is fun.

And by the way you are wrong with your guess.

Here is another page of my Coco Keeling Islands.



Hey Mr Hans how come you have not had a guess yet.

_________________

I have enough kiloware for a while.

But I must admit I found a stamp I was missing from a set in the last batch you sent me.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...

Mr Hans you never no you may find another one you need and you can always swap or give them away.

Here is page 18 of my Cocos Islands collection.



Some body has to guess right soon or I will run out of pages to show.

Jacob.

Have some fun and have a guess.

Mr Pitronix sorry you are wrong again.

You might be right there does not seem much interest in my guessing game.


Here is page 20 of my Cocos Keeling Islands.

It wasn't stated as to how many guesses one could have. I don't want the kiloware I just want to guess

45

Have a guess a day sounds good.

But Mrs Brummie you are wrong and I cannot say lower or higher

Here is page 21.



I hope a few more Stampboarders will join in the fun.

Jacob.

I've had my daily guess so that leaves it open for a member to get it right

All the data I can find is:
6 stamps in 1963
120 stamps by 1984 on 21 album pages
420 stamps by 2007
assuming your pages go to 2010 and extrapolating:

N = [(420-120)/(2007-1984)x(2010-1984)+120] x 21/120 = 80 pages.

I don't like guesses, but computations and research are OK.

Muruk look at Jacobs cryptic comment on my guess but you have had your calculated guess so you are out for the day too.

Now it is geting interesting, muruk tx for calculation I would go for 76

Ohhhh! this is starting to get into some fun.
I think you are starting to assume I have a lot of pages.

You may be right / you may be wrong.

But nobody is right at the moment.

You will have to wait now for tomorrow to see if there is a page 21.



Mr Hans your so so funny with your calculated guess.
I had to get the dictionary out for extrapolating.

Hmmm from known data. (unknown data )

Yes, a bit like "how long is a piece of string".

As I don't know what years your pages start and finish at, even an extrapolation will be a guess.

But deriving the formula was an interesting exercise in itself.

Another day, another guess...46

Hello Jacob here.

Wrong /wrong again.

I am going away for a few days with my friends family.

Just to Brisbane , about 100klms south from where I live.
So I will not be on Stampboards for 3 days.

So keep those guesses coming in and I shall check them out when I get back.

Bye.

Jacob.

Hi Jacob,
I take it you have seen that myphilately has folded so I can't get to your address. When you get my stamps I sent please send me your address so that when I get more stamps for you I can send them to you.
Merry Christmas,
William

I think you have 60 pages

Happy 13th Birthday Jacob.

Big teenager.

Big hugs.

Mum and Dad.

Ohhohohohoh Jacob! Happy 13-th B-day from Bosnia

Happy Birthday Jacob

Jacob. Cocos/Keeling? Hmmm
409 stamps in SG 2008 and with only a few stamps per page, plus a few back of the book stuff I would have to quess at 99

I must have been tired a few post back.
This is page 25.



And also page 26.




Sorry guesses are wrong

Are you assuming I have a lot of pages.

HMMMM Still a lot of lower # there.

But than again you never know I just may have a complete to date collection.
