For Esti-Mystery 4, both 47 and 67 work with the clues, so they are part of the final discussion. However, the actual number of objects in the container is I hope that helps! We did one of your Esti-mysteries as a staff at a PD this past week — it was awesome! Hi, Jordan. I think I have the solution for you. Here is the link to 51 Esti-Mysteries.

Any suggestions? Thank you. You can use most of the slides just by clicking through, but the reveal slide in particular requires that the show is playing to work.

These are so great.
