@harrison’s 30-minute Speaker Dock De-meh-lition Guessing Game! {Closed}

JonT posted a pic said Fri, Sep 18th 2015 at 9:46am ET

It was awesome to see our developer @harrison’s De-meh-lition of the JBL Micro, where he took his time to thoroughly document its dis-assembly in a futile attempt to find something useful inside of a speaker dock, but we want to see how good @harrison is…

@harrison will have exactly 30 minutes to use whatever tools he remembered to bring into the office today to dismantle a JBL Micro into as many different pieces as he can.

How far will he go? How many pieces will he find? You tell us! Post your guess for how many different pieces a speaker dock will be in after 30 minutes are up.

You have until 12:00pm Eastern today to submit your guesses. Only 1 guess allowed per account, and only one guess per post. No loopholes or cheating allowed.

We’ll be checking in on @harrison’s progress and playing some fun games during a Periscope that’ll be starting around 1:00pm Eastern.

Good luck!

Update: Here's the saved Periscope video.

- just to clarify, this is an enthusiastic 17 and not an abbreviated 355687428096000.

- @marklog I find Markdown numbered list syntax to be too greedy at times too.
  
  Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as list markers

17 separate pieces (Including individual screws) and I think he will get it fully disassembled in the 30 minute time frame.

- Apparently someone already guessed 17, so I'll change to 18

I have just been informed that I am not allowed to guess "1" and then just stare at the camera for the entire 30 minutes while I make myself win, so I guess today is y'all's lucky day.
