Before you start
Meet the cast — the characters who teach this
-
Midge Counts the bees in one small square, then multiplies by how many squares there are -
Pebbleton Holds up something he already knows, a handful is about fifty, and counts in handfuls -
Bracket Never gives one number: always between this and that -
Lonehum Writes her guess down before anyone else speaks, so nobody's number pulls hers -
Copycomb Copies the loudest bee, so the whole swarm drifts the same way -
Stickle Hears one number first and stays stuck close to it -
Middling Lines every guess up from smallest to biggest and picks the one in the middle -
Farbuzz Guesses wildly high every time, and the middle guess barely moves when he does -
Sharewell Pours all the guesses together and shares them out evenly -
Fanspread Looks at how far apart the guesses are, not just where the middle is
