Guess How Many....

 No, not jelly beans in a jar....

Data was just released showing how many pre-alerts and sirens various parts of the country had during the past war with Iran, starting on February 28. So guess how many we had:

20?

35?

47? (that was my approximate guess)

Surprisingly (at least to me, and I was here for every one of them and yet still underestimated by quite a lot) the answer is 65.

Want to guess the number of "throw-your-coffee-in-the-air" pre-alerts we had?

After knowing we had 65 sirens, my guess was about 100-120. 

But the real answer is 227 (!!)

(And we had it easy compared to Kiryat Shmonah in the North--where cousins Gil and Nitzan live--because they had 214 actual SIRENS)

Let's hope the next cartoon stays just a cartoon.....
