In terms of blogging, October was a rather quiet month for me, I made 11 posts in total, a bit less than I would have liked. It's taking me longer and longer to write posts nowadays, so hats off to those who keep on churning out quality content everyday. I spent a lot more time curating, and moderating my communities and am trying to comment more, which is something that I preach to newbies all the time. Overall, my HP still grew steadily, and after my power up today, it has grown from 82500 to 84100. I will be able to reach and exceed my 2022 target of 85000 very comfortably.
I don't know if I should start to think about 2023 targets now. It's good practice to do so, but I don't want to give pressure on myself as I think it takes the fun out of being on Hive. If I do, it will be to reach the 100k mark, that will truly be a big milestone to get to 6 digit. Currently only 162 accounts have achieved that on Hive and if I make it I will move 20 places further up the HP ranking list. However, others will be growing their HP at the same time, or at least I hope they will, so even if I get to the 100k mark, my ranking may not go up that much. To be honest, I don't see that as a issue, I don't care about ranking as I'm not here to race with anyone. Just gonna do my own thing and see where that takes me.
NOVEMBER HPUD GUESSING CONTEST
Last month I mentioned to a few people I got a great HPUD Guessing Contest for November. I think it's going to be really fun and will drive you all crazy in trying to guess the correct answer. A few weeks ago I went to a city farm, and there was a sow that had just given birth to a set of piggies. The piggies were only two weeks old and were so cute 😍, running around playing and fighting with one another. These are mixed breed piggies and the boar is a mixed breed himself making them triple breed (is that even a term?). Anyway, this month's HPUD Guessing Contest is
How many piggies are there?

There are no clues this month. I don't even know if I captured all the different piggies in these four photos. The piggies may or may not be the same ones in each of the photos. Perhaps you can see how many different ones you can spot here. I told you it will be fun!! I have a couple of photos that have all the piggies in them and I will show you when I reveal the answer. And just to be clear, the answer to excludes the pig mama sow. This month's HPUD Guessing Contest will run for a few more days till 12th November as I am going away soon and will be off grid most of the time.
The prize pool is 20 HBD and will go to the person who guessed correctly or the nearest to the correct answer. If there is more than one winner you will share the 20 HBD. And as always, if you HPUD today, I will double your prize if you guessed correctly. Hope you enjoy the piggie search this month!!
Oh that one is hard as we talked about it. I'll go with 7. Happy HPUD day and enjoy your travel, take care 👋
Thanks, can't wait to go away again!
I'm guessing ther are 8 little piggies 4 black three white and black and one in semi beige in color. Don't know what to call that color
That's a very diligent analysis!! Good luck.
thanks.I used to work on a piggery farm before
I'd say there are six of them, little cuties :D
Could animals show happiness? I think these ones do! :)
I've never seen so many little piggie before, definitely cuteness overload!
Indeed :)))
Some people have them as pets and I totally get that :D
You are already among the elites of hive having this much hive power.
You are right about the point that if following anything (say the ranking) snatches the peace of mind and joy, it is useless.
My guess for the question is.
They are 8 in all.
7 piglets and 1 bigger pig
I am still a very big step from the elites, those at the top are the ones who have put their faith into Hive and invested fiat into the platform, and help make Hive grow.
I'll take 7 as the answer as I'm looking for the little piglets only. Good luck
Okayyyy. So my answer is 7. Waiting for the right answer 🤞
Wow what an achievement - despite a quiet month. I agree with you - it is not a race. Have a great time while you are off grid - stay safe and well.
Think there are 11 piglets in total:
3 black pigs
2 black pigs with white feet
4 black and white pigs
2 black and beige pigs
I like your detailed analysis @momogrow! Good luck and I'll try not to stay off grid too much if I can... or perhaps I should since I'm going away with my family.. I'll see
Thank u - I stared and stared at those piglet.🤣
Have a great time with your family.
Still a great growth with not posting that much. Keep going,
Aawwww how cute are they 🥰
I guess there are 6 little ones 😎🤞🏻
Good night @livinguktaiwan 👋🏻😊
Thanks @littlebee4, will continue to march on!!
You are welcome @livinguktaiwan 👋🏻😊
Have a wonderful Wednesday ☀️
This will be a fun one. It’s been a long time since I participated in this guessing game.
I think there are 7 piggies here.
Hey, good to see you here again!
Hi, @livinguktaiwan, my guess is there are seven piglets.
Good luck with your entry!
Oh it quite challenging. Well there are 9 piggies
Let's see if you won the challenge!!
Thank you
It was a rather quiet October for me as well. While I would like to be active here a lot, it's just not possible these days. 😔
Congrats on the power up and cheers for being so close to your 2022 goal. 100k HP would really be fantastic!
As for the guessing game, I would say there are six piggies in there. 😉
It's difficult when you have a family to look after as well, hope all is well.
Hello, finally my answer is that there are 8 little pigs.
Good luck with your guess!
Oh... Piglets... Uhm, not sure how many are they? I will go with 8. 🐖☺️
Piggy piggy 8! Long time no see Eliza!
Well, I will go for 5 piggies. They are so cute and I hope they'll grow up healthy.
If they didn't smell, I would have loved to cuddle them!
85 000 is indeed easy for you to achieve before the end of this year, best of luck in getting 100 k hp.... My guess for the numbers of piglet is 6
So far I think I should be on track to reach my target. thanks
My guess is there are 6 little piggies. 😊
Good luck with your guess!
Your account is growing at a good pace even if you didn't post much last month. For sure you'll be at 100k in the first half of next year.
As for the contest and the piggies, I'll say there are eight of them.
Happy PUD day :)
I hope I can achieve that @coquicoin!! Thanks
Wow! you have a big and amazing hive power. My hive power is not yet a 1% of yours. But it's okay, I am happy with the improvement i have each month.
I hope you can reach your goal for this year.
Hmmm its fun to participate another guessing game of yours @livinguktaiwan as I think I won last guessing game you did last month.
For today's guessing game, I think the mother pig have 7 piglets. 3 with different colors and 4 black. I hope I guess it right. I am looking forward to know the right answer.
Well, I have been here 5 more years than you!!! As long as you grow your stake on Hive, that's all that matters for the long run, it will be worth it taking a long term view here.
Yes, small steps, small wins is what matters. Thanks @livinguktaiwan for the encouragement.
That´s a fun one inded! :) I would say 7 piglets + 1 mommy pig :)
Thanks for hosting this great contest!
As always, thanks for popping by @phortun, and good luck with your guess.
This is quite challenging... Hmmm, I guess they are 7 piglets and 1 mother Pig.
Making it 8 Piggies.
I'll take 7 as your answer as I'm looking for the little piggies only. Good luck
Okay 👍
100k, that's the dream. I think I'm a few years away from that - more than a few. I'll keep plugging away at it though.
My guess is 8 piglets
We all have different priorities in life and I'm just too lazy to understand all the investments so keep it on Hive. Good luck!
Good comments could be as good as a quality post, so all good.
Regards the piggies, it is impossible! 😂
Defo see 4 + 4, so I will go with 8... but could be more
That's why I love doing this every month to drive some engagement, and I get to meet some new people, or those who don't appear much 😉
Good to see you as always!
🤍
18 because one time at least 10.
Why am I not surprised with your answer? 😄
There are indeed seven piggies there....
Good luck!
Ah, I had a different post lined up for today. I am going to have to figure out what to do now. I don't think I have enough liquid Hive sitting around to power up today!
No worries, power up can really happen any day, its the action that counts more than when tbh!
They are so cute. I think that they are 5 in number (5 little piglets). Haha, what fun! 🤗❤️💕🥰😊😊☕️
Fun contest with the cute piggies!!!
What a nice ladder to power, 😅 great job those 100 k are to celebrate.
The piglets are very cute and taste great. One sow always gives birth to many, in total there must be 1 momma sow and 9 piglets.
Thank you, your was fun.
I came to edit the comment to say that I posted but I forgot to make power up in the post, I do not know if it is useful for the contest to make power up from the wallet.
In case it works I leave my test here. @livinguktaiwan 🥰
Well done on powering up as well, just keep building your stake all the time!
I want to join once more in the guessing game, and I believe there are 6 piglets on the photo. On the lower right side, 2 are covered and the 4 were visible so I guess there are 6. Have a nice time my friend.
Thanks for your entry @pinkchic and good luck!
WOW that's great growth, you're heading for an easy win as far as setting goal!
These guessing contests of yours always has me squinting, even had to get new spectacles LOL...I was due a new pair that's making me squint as it's way stronger than my old pair...My guess is 7 little piggies - 4 black and 3 spotted???
I'm an aim low lazy type, so I can get a big sense of achievement. Isn't that nice 😆
Tell me about worsening eyesight 😞
Hey, hip hip hooray for the 84,100 HP. Year end target of 85k is a cinch. I think 87k will be more realistic. We'll see 🤞🤞🤞
I was about to answer 5 until I looked at the last photo which shows 4 blacks and 2 spotted. My answer is 6 piggies. 😊😊😊
Hello @gems.and.cookies as always nice to see you again! Good luck!
Hi, il join this guess. I think its 8 , 4 of each black and dotted. -chris
Great to see you and good luck with your guess!!
Congratulations on your achievements despite not being as active as you wanted!🏆
I can relate. Having a senior moment on Halloween, I mistakedly powered up only five Hive instead of ten Hive and didn't earn the coveted November bee badge.😂 Hopefully November is a better month for us.
My guess is there are six little piggies, plus the proud momma sow 🐖🐖🐖🐷🐖🐖🐖
Hope you're having a good day / night! @livinguktaiwan 💓
It's the thought of powering up that counts, and with the price dip, it's a good time to buy up Hive now !!! (Not financial advice 😄)
Happy HPUD ! You are doing fantastic on the HP front - thats quite incredible - fair play. And good luck with the year end target - but sounds like you have it in the bag !
As for the piggies, I'm going to guess 8.
!CTP
If all goes well, it shouldn't be a problem, I set myself a very soft target this year - makes me feel good if I don't fail 😄

It's complicated. Haha. I've been reading a couple of times and I don't know my translator helps...
Haha...
But you say:
I'm leaving for 2 little pigs. Perhaps the answer is somewhat crazy, even coming from a place where I have seen sows give birth to more than 10 baby pigs.
I hope it's not a bad move by my translator! :?
Good luck and success in your goal!
I meant a group of piggies, feel free to change your answer 😉
Haha... let's say here:
In the By God!
LOL...
So I'm off for 11 baby pigs. You're right, they are so cute! Although later when they grow up, I'm very big!
Good luck with your guess, let's see if your past experience will help!!
Thank you for your good wish! 🙏
Congratulations @livinguktaiwan! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Hmmm well you really ain't making this easy broh!
Especially not with that last picture! where a sixth little piggy joins the parade!..
I would go with @incublus and also say 7
Laughs
ha ha!! I got a bit confused myself just by looking at these photos and lost count of how many different ones were here.
I think 7 and you will be hitting 125k at Christmas 2023!

Challenges are great though;)
