Help Me Guess The Jellybeans!

When do you get to find out!?!

[Infested Cats]

Despite all my hard work... I didn't win the jellybeans. I didn't even get 2nd place!
As it turns out, the right number of jellybeans was 1903. My highest guess (1700) was off by 203.

Of everyone on the forum that guessed, the closest person was KingYoshi with 1769, only off by 134.
I forget what the winners in my school guessed, but they guessed within the 1900's.

With 1903 as the right amount of jellybeans, if they used 8 bags to fill up the container, that means that there would be about 237.875 jellybeans per bag.

I guess I was overly confident this time.

I want to thank everyone who helped out. I DID come close, at least.
