More Lodden Thinks
Antonio Esfandiari is keeping the "Lodden Thinks" game going at his table. This time, he asked our reporter to think of the number of contacts that Edward Kim had in his phone. The question was prompted before Kim busted out, but the table and Esfandiari didn't get around to bidding until after he was eliminated.
Our reporter locked in his number, and the bidding went on. After a few minutes, Esfandiari asked for the number.
"1,141," responded our reporter, showing him the paper he wrote it down on to verify.
""Thank you!" responded Esfandiari with a big smile across his face.
Esfandiari had won the bet as the table bought under 200. The table was very much surprised with how high our reporter guessed, but the reporter explained his thought process. First, Kim had his iPhone squarely on the table in view. Most iPhones nowadays are synced up with people's Facebook accounts, other social media sites and emails. Then there's the regular phone numbers in the phone. Our reporter himself has 1,235 contacts in his phone, so the number really isn't as absurd as the table thought.
"Dinner's on me," Esfandiari said to our reporter with a big smile as some more money was shipped his way.
