Alice, Ben, Charlie, David, and Ed entered a contest to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar. Alice guessed 30, Ben guessed 28, Charlie guessed 29, David guessed 25, and Ed guessed 26. Two were off the mark by 1, one was wrong by 4, and one by 3. But one was correct. How many jelly beans are in the jar at the store? :cool:

OVER agrees
Really it was quite an easy riddle - just look at the fact that there was only 1 person that could be right when two were off by one. That person of coarse was Charlie.
