A once-common contest at fairs, fundraisers, and math classes taught by a Cool Teacher. The premise is simple; guess the number of jellybeans in a jar, and win a prize, often the jar of jellybeans itself. There are multiple ways of coming to the solution, such as blind guessing, getting an identical jar and counting how many jellybeans it takes to fill that up, or using math to determine the jar's volume and the volume of a single jellybean. In the world of fiction, it's a good premise for an episode, or at the very least, a gag, wherein the characters try to figure out the central question. "How many jellybeans (or whatever the item is) are in the jar?" |

iCarly: The school has a contest involving guessing how many Fat Cakes were in a jar, all to win the largest locker in school. Freddie did complicated math, while Sam just guessed because "Mama knows her Fat Cakes". They were both correct, and they both had to share the locker. Gibby guesses five. | |

In the Broad City episode "Working Girls," the temping agency where Ilana briefly works has a large jar of candies with the label "Guess how many and win!" Ilana doesn't see the label and eats dozens of the candies, forcing her boss to count them again. | |

Curious George: One episode of the PBS series revolves around a gumball machine full of toy bouncing balls. Betsy (with George's help) wins the contest by filling a hat box with similar-sized golf balls. Steve's method of multiplying and dividing the different colors proves...less reliable. | |

The Corner Gas episode "Bean There" had this as an A-plot, but Brent, Karen and Emma had trouble counting the beans for the contest, so they had to estimate it for themselves and keep the townsfolk from knowing they're making stuff up. | |

Mario Party: Mario Party 2: There is a minigame called "Roll Call" where the player has to count out the correct amount of species present in a forest area. Each variant of the minigame features a caveat to keep in mind: If it's Bob-ombs, the characters have to deduct the current number when one explodes; if it's Boos, they have to account for the ones that vanish and reappear; if it's Toads, they have to avoid mistaking the similar-looking static mushrooms for Toads. The original version has to have the exact amount guessed to win, coming short or going over results in a draw; remakes of the minigame (which appear in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars) alter the rule slightly to guess close to the exact amount to win. Super Mario Party: The minigame Senseless Census places each player in a train car full of Toads, and each player can move around separately to count how many Toads are in the car. Many of the Toads are seated at the various booths in the car doing different things, but they will also leave their seats to walk around the car. Players press the buttons on their Joy-Con to count either up or down, and once time runs out, the player who picked the number closest to the correct answer is the winner. |

DuckTales: In the "Super DuckTales" story arc, Fenton Crackshell (who can count any quantity in a second) challenges the Master Electronic Leader to a series of these to prove whether or not robots are superior to organic life. Fenton won each time, able to count the number of ball-bearings in jars faster than the supercomputer M.E.L. For the last round, Fenton challenged M.E.L. to count the bolts, but it's a trick, as the jar was full of nuts, not bolts. | |

In one episode of The Middle, Frankie Heck gives an idea to her boss to pull one of these contests, only that the beans fill the interior of a car and the car is the prize. It ends up going horribly wrong: after being so long under the sun, all of the beans melt together into a gigantic block of candy, making the vehicle utterly impossible to give away, let alone sell. Also, she forgot to write down how many jelly beans she put in the car anyway. | |

Fudge: The first book, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing begins with Peter winning a turtle (which he names Dribble) at his friend Jimmy Fargo's birthday party for guessing that there were 348 jellybeans in Mrs. Fargo's jar. Although there were actually 423 jellybeans, Peter still won because his guess was the closest. | |

In a Nancy strip from the '70s, the titular character is staring at a jar full of beans in a store to figure out how many there are. She then gets a flash of insight, and runs into the store to claim the cash prize. How many beans in the jar? None!! (As a wide, final panel depicts the now-empty, tipped-over jar, courtesy of the store's cat.) | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: One story had Donald and Gladstone both participate in a contest like this, with regular beans instead of jellybeans, organized by a travel agency. Gladstone just made a random guess, while Donald went so far as to purchase a similar jar as the one in the contest, fill it up with beans, and count them...and concluded that Gladstone had guessed exactly the right number. Donald then tried to sabotage the contest by having a bird eat some of the beans, but Gladstone still won since one of the beans germinated, and the resulting plant provided enough beans to make up for the ones the bird had eaten. | |

In the Phineas and Ferb episode "We Call It Maze", it's not a contest, but one of the many puzzles in the titular maze made by a computer. The jar was placed next to a door, that would open when the correct number of jellybeans was inputted. While Phineas and Baljeet were debating which units of measure to use to calculate the correct number, Buford gets impatient and opts to eat all the jellybeans and enter "0". It worked, though Baljeet called him out for cheating. | |

An issue of The Simpsons features one, which Bart and Lisa try to win. Despite Lisa's calculations, they fail, but Homer wins it by just happening to say the correct number while he's nearby. When the jar is emptied, Lisa finds out why she didn't get it right - one of the jellybeans was much bigger than the others. | |

Lost: Martha, the woman Hurley visits in Western Australia, tells Hurley that her husband used the Numbers to calculate the number of beans in a jar. She doesn't say how he used the numbers, but presumably he didn't just put all the numbers together (which would be over 4 billion) or add them up (only 108). | |

An episode of Monk had the title character go to a carnival as part of an investigation with Sharona and Benji. It turned out they were having one of these. Monk tells Benji to guess a certain number (without actually seeing the jellybeans) and he wins. He explains at episode's end that he actually saw the boxes for the jellybeans, multiplied the number of boxes by the normal amount in the box, and subtracted a few to account for the proprietor eating some. | |

Superman once used "super-mathematics" to determine the amount of beans in a jar by knowing the weight of one bean and the weight of the jar. The legitimacy of this power is somewhat questionable; not only is this just simple multiplication, but Superman got the answer wrong by a factor of 10 too high, ignoring the rounding errors. | |

Odd Squad: One episode shows a flashback that Agent Octavia had. In it, she and her partner Oz meet up against Jelly Bean Joe, which had one of these. If they don't get it in time, a box filled with pudding will explode and cover the whole town. For the first attempt they counted each bean one by one. As you may guess, it wasn't successful, however they used estimations provided by Estimation Eddie on the second. They got 1500, but that wasn't an available option, but 1520 was. | |

One of the puzzles in the third chapter of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures is a count the gumballs challenge. The way to figure it out is to find the bag the candy came out of in the trash, note how many gumballs were originally in the bag, and subtract how many of them were thrown away rather than poured into the jar. | |

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "For Here or to Go", Mr. Krabs holds a contest, wherein anyone who guesses the correct number of bun seeds in a jar wins a free Krabby Patty. Plankton, who is trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, correctly guesses that there are 500,301 bun seeds (one of them was stuck to the inside of the lid), and when Mr. Krabs refuses to give him a Krabby Patty, Plankton calls the Bogus Business Bureau on him. The BBB threatens to shut down the Krusty Krab unless Mr. Krabs gives Plankton his Krabby Patty. Plankton wins but Krabs turns it around on him by forcing him to eat the patty before leaving, which ruins his attempt to analyze and replicate it. | |

Total Trauma: In the three-part Breather Episode "Jellybean Warfare," Courtney tests her math whiz girlfriend Cecily by having her guess the number of jellybeans in a jar. Shockingly, Cecily gets the exact number right, but Courtney eats some of the jellybeans to try and claim she was a few beans off. Cecily knows better though, and chases down Courtney, who refuses to kiss her lest Cecily taste jellybeans on her lips. | |

In one episode of Sid the Science Kid that has estimation as its central theme, Sid's grandmother tells him the story about how she won this kind of contest when she was young. After analyzing the jar closely, she won the contests due to her estimation being the closest to the actual number of jellybeans, merely one jellybean difference. In the same episode, they play the same game at the family dinner with meatballs and she wins again. | |

George of the Jungle: One episode has Howie the howler monkey doing a contest to see how many ticks there are in a jar. Ape was in the middle of saying his guess, only for Howie to tell him the contest was over and that he won. Turns out the "contest" was just a way for Howie to get rid of his jar of ticks, which Ape mistakes for an incident of good luck thanks to a pair of underpants. | |

Lilo & Stitch's Island of Adventures had a minigame where coconuts drop onto the ground and the players have to shout out how many there are without using anyone else's number. The player that guesses closest to the exact amount of coconuts wins an Experiment. | |
