I thought this one was good (but not particularly difficult.)
The beggar swaggered and bragged he could outrun the bigger, clam-diggers-wearing gravedigger, who, munching on McNuggets and veggies, shrugged his shoulders and suggested they race for a small bet. "Let's go!" Off they jogged, easily at first, but the beggar soon set a staggering pace while the gravedigger lagged badly behind. Far ahead, the beggar playfully zigged and zagged and zoomed to victory. The grave digger finally dragged himself across the finish line and exclaimed, "So you exaggerating!" The beggar simply smiled and ate his prize: an eggshell-white-chocolate Easter Buggy and brightly colored Easter egg.
What is the total? |

I was going to say two Gs but that's hardly a small bet, especially for a beggar  But combining that with the previous counts would perhaps suggest 50 000. |

They wanted two dozen-- the number of times egg or gge appeared.
I think there should have been a bug genitally landing on the beggars head... |

What's an Easter Buggy? I thought they were just looking for the double-g's and counted those. I see now that they don't have an e on either side of them. |

hey_matt,
This provides for a disturbing mental image and and might be quite painful for the bug. 
Thanks for the laugh.  |
