I did this many times, very easy. Its only estimating, you don't have to count ALL of the flowers.

I just did this one. The poster above is correct, all you have to do is estimate. I basically counted the first row and estimated how many rows of flowers there were, then multiplied. Got 6 cents.  :wave:

it made me dizzy just thinking about it! I was afraid about how close they wanted the answer to be! I get so nervous with crowdflower and what they approve

 ;D I guessed on both of them; and still got the credit. One of my guesses was very close to the actual count.

I think I was overwhelmed at the amount of flowers in the photo that I gave up.  Maybe I think to much into these things. lol

I tried it once, but I was upset that I didn't get the right numbers, because I thought it wouldn't credit. It did, though! I didn't realize it was OK to be off by a few. (although I did it the hard way, and actually tried to count each flower!)

This task was on my list again, so I gave it a whirl.  On one of the pictures, I got a 'wrong' answer and said that was unfair since I was only supposed to estimate the number, and I was off by only 5.  Sheesh.  Anyway, I did get credit for this task, so I'm happy with that.

I tried this. One of the questions I got wrong was I because I put down 60 and there were 61. Estimating- I don't think so.

I have no idea what you are all talking about so I'm going into tasks to see for myself.  I hope it works for me.  Thanks for the info.
