New Game: Guess the Total Years of Service

It’s time to bust out whatever access you have to magical methods of discernment. We’ve got some cold, hard gift cards on the line for the person who comes nearest to correctly guessing the combined years of service of all city employees as of Wed. Nov. 17, 2021.

Here are a few points to consider as you begin to form a guess via divination:

  • As of Nov. 17, 2021, there were 1,019 employees on the books. That includes all full-time and part-time employees.
  • For the purposes of this contest, we’re only operating with full years of service. No months. For example, if you have been with the city 6 months, you are marked as 0 years of service because you haven’t hit your full year yet.
  • The system where we’re pulling this info from rounds down. If you have been here 6 years and 8 months, you are reported as having 6 years of service.
  • By way of a hint to get you started, the number is more than 74 because Suzanne Hodson and Ned Miner have each been here for 37 years. So make sure your number is north of 74.

Just use the form below to submit your guess and we’ll announce the winner in the Nov. 29 edition of the City Ditty.
