How many magnets fit in a little ziplock?

I just received my sample pack from my honourable chinese supplier of tiny tiny magnets :)

Have a good guess how many are left in the bag, and I'll send a very nice piece of plain, dark Belgian chocolate (our country's pride next to beer and pedophiles!) to the one closest to the correct amount  ;) 

Mind you, I have been using a few trying to magnetize tank turrets, only to find out that (a) you need a non-magnetic pincet for 2x1 mm magnets or you'll never get anything done and (b) it is a bad idea to dip these magnets in superglue, and then move the bag with the rest of the magnets over the glued item: these magnets are so powerful they just jump up and press themselves onto the bag without you noticing it.  Also watch out for metal boxes (my desk is full of them) and your pair of glasses.  ;D

1. Well, it was a mixed bag, in the end it went well, but the start was messy  :D

2. I'm waiting for the sun to reappear!  Until then I intend to spend a daily few hours in "'t kot" as my family members respectlessly call it, or "my little heaven", as I call it myself when no-one can hear  :D
