Winner Announced for “Guess the Bricks” Contest

Niraj Shrestha, a computer science major from Nepal, won the “Guess the Bricks” contest that took place Oct. 26-30.

In honor of the recent completion of the Mall, Truman sponsored the contest to challenge students to guess the number of bricks ordered for the project. As the winner of the contest, Shrestha was presented with a signed brick from University President Troy Paino.

Of 182 students, Shrestha’s guess of 51,750 bricks was closest to the actual number of bricks ordered. On average, students guessed around 20,000 bricks, while the actual number was 68,000.
