Varusteleka's Midsummer Bingo 2016

Midsummer night is soon here! Winter and the seasons around it are long and dismal in Finland, but nature does take everything out of the few months of summer we have. Midsummer night has been a magical night of celebration in Finland for thousands of years. What we Finns do, with our 100 000+ lakes and all, is go to the country, have the biggest party of the year, have the worst arguments with family, drink too much alcohol and then eventually drown.

Midsummer night usually collects the most drownings in the year, and the actual number of drowned people is always the biggest headline for all newspapers. Midsummer bingo, where people take guesses on how many actually drown this year, is a popular sport in Finnish workplaces, but we want to include our customers in it too. This year, we want to make this an international competition.

So here's the deal: Make a guess on how many Finns will drown this midsummer night and you might win a prize! The actual number is usually between 1 and 20, but you can take as wild guess as you like.

So as to motivate our Finnish customers not to drown, the price will be biggest for a guess of 0 drownings, and will gradually go smaller the bigger the number gets.

I did guess wrong, but I survived the bingo.

So... how many did drown?

Nine persons did drown, five died by other means. My educated guess was five.
