A ~ Brass surface screw cups
I was visiting a friend whilst he was busy in his workshop. I was interested to see the huge number of little boxes he had ~ all carefully stored in shelves in a cupboard ~ and every box clearly labelled to say what was inside.
I began to wonder how many 'things' there were packed in each box. I took some pictures and have been able to prepare a short fun~quiz.
In every case the question is
How many in the box ~ or package?
If you are writing down your answers, then I have provided letters A ~ K for reference. (There is no I ~ it gets confused with 1 ~ and is often left out of lists such as this.)
There is no consistency in the labelling. In some cases it is almost necessary to take a guess at which one of the many numbers refers to the quantity of items inside the container. Apart from the masonry nails and scrapers everything else favours a multiple of a hundred. The rawlplug box highlights an area ripe for mistakes. It states something aqlong the lines of this is one pack of one hundred. For those doing the quiz ~ either 1 or 100 counts as a correct answer.
It so happened that these are all small screws and other items. The surface screw cups tend to stack into each other and take up very little space ~ hence the largest quantity at 500. Incidentally this box was almost empty ~ my friend has done a lot of work over the years!
