Meridellians always have the most exciting way to kill time: Turdle racing, Cheese roller, Kiss the Mortog... Potato Counter is yet another game of the same type in which you get to test your counting speed kills, by simply counting potatoes.
Simply use your keyboard to input the amount of potatoes that are on the page and then click on "guess!". If you are right, Alton Moughbry will award you a few Neopoints, based on the time it took you to guess.
Most of the time, it's quite easy to correctly guess the amount of potatoes on the page. However, on rare occasions, the page can be filled with potatoes... We've even had visitors report numbers as high as 1885 and 1929 potatoes showing on the page! Wow!
Potato Counter is an easy game, but in order to increase your speed, here are different strategies that you can use. Try them all and stick with the one you are the most comfortable with.
Group the potatoes: This method could be compared to speed reading. All you have to do is to group the potatoes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 to speed up the process.
Pencils method: Use two pencils and start counting from the sides. For example, place the tip of your pencil on the first potato on the left and the other pencil on the right and count from the outside to the inside.
Substractions: Use your mind and common sense, by subtracting the number of potatoes per row. The limit per row is 10 potatoes so if you see potatoes half the way, then it means you have 5 on that row.
Touch and count: Simply use a pencil, touch each potato and count out loud. This method isn't as fast as the previous ones.
Potato Counter is a quick and easy game that will earn you a few extra Neopoints to achieve any of your goals faster. Play it every day and your counting speed will surely increase. If you enjoy this game, make sure to try the flash version of it called Extreme Potato Counter .
