And the Answer Is...


The last question on the trivia card yesterday was, "What color is most prevalent in a bag of plain M&Ms?"  And the answer is...

Brown at 30%!  What?! No way.  We didn't believe it.  Orange M&Ms are my favorite (of course) and I can't hardly eat the blue ones (blue M&Ms?  just not natural) and I know there are not 30% more brown than any other color.  So, we went to the market and bought a big bag of plain M&Ms, sorted them into bowls by color and then counted.  Here are results:

Orange - 103 (yay - this is MY bag of candy!)
Blue - 92 (what?! why?)
Red - 70
Yellow - 64
Green - 42
Brown - 42

So, according to our bag of candy, brown ties as the least prevalent color!  Maybe the game is really old - like, before they had those unnaturally blue colored M&Ms.  And, of course, Kate reminds me that this does not qualify as scientifically sound analysis as we should do the experiment MANY more times before coming to a conclusion.  Is she really good at scientific method or does she just want more chocolate?  Hmmmm.
For those of you Star Wars nerds, here are the answers to yesterday's Star Wars trivia card:
