Roadtrip News:  The 2011 Webkinz Roadtrip is beginning to announce stops across the US.  Follow them on twitter @webkinzroadtrip for more information!  Here’s a peek at the new van and the virtual van you receive from the roadtrip van code.  I will do my best to get some codes to share with the blog.

And for some more spoilers . . .  First there are some new Hamster items…

This is the “MAZIN’ Hamster Stunt” clothing…the Helmet, Top, Pants, Shoes, Glasses, and Belt.  These are NOT e-store items.

Top row: Beehive Dress*, Two Cookie Fence*, Three Cookie Fence*, and Tube Fencing
Bottom Row: Moolah Stepping Stones, Moolah Mountain Window, Hamster Ball Wall Chandelier, and Kinzbanz Wall Art Rabbit.
*The first 3 items on the top row are estore. The rest are NOT.

The first 3 items in this next pic are also estore, but the last one is not.
Wacky Tower of Kinzville*, Ultimate Bowling Bed*, Amazing April Shower*.  (Your pet can sit on the Wacky Tower.)
The last item is the MAZIN’ Hamster Trophy Case.  It can hold 9 items.
It says you can keep your Hamster trophies in this case.

Here is the Flutterbugged trophy – it’s not sendable.

Many of us have recently gotten excited about the Jellybean Challenges in Webkinz World.  We have gathered information from several different sources to provide you with a little summary of how to determine which ‘range’ jar you have, how to narrow your jar within that range, and where everyone is tracking to help you along.  We’ll be tracking during Jellybean Challenges right here on Gymbo’s on whatever is the ‘current’ post, and I will try to ‘tweet’ to everyone following me on twitter (twitter name momskinz).

First, you should view the jars on this site (click here) to determine which range jar you have.  You will often see these refered to as the XXXX jar which is the first number in the range.

Next, you can check here on the current post at Gymbo’s Webkinz Blog and the Webkinz Insider Jellybean Tracking Thread (click here) for current winning numbers and narrowing.

When narrowing your jar, you can post the jar range, then NT (Narrowed To) meaning you have narrowed the range of the winning number further.  To begin narrowing, you determine the midpoint of your range, add 200 to the midpoint, and enter that number as your first guess.

Here is how to interpret the result of your guess:
If you get “Oooo, that was close!” then your guess is 1-199 jellybeans off.
If you get “Not a bad guess!” then your guess is 200-499 jellybeans off.
If you get “You’ll need to be closer!” then your guess is 500-999 jellybeans off.
If you get “Wow, that was way off” then your guess is 1000 or more jellybeans off.

Using the method to above to interpret the answer, you narrow your range, find the midpoint of the new NT range, add 200 to the new midpoint, and enter that number as your second guess.  That further narrows your jar based on the answer.  Since your third and final guess will tell you ‘sorry’ if you don’t guess correctly, you should randomly guess any number in your NT range unless you are working on narrowing with someone else and can wait for a winning number.

The best guide I have found so far on the internet is EXOTERIC’s Jellybean Jar Challenge Guessing & Narrowing Chart on WI (click here).

Good luck & happy winning!
