"the number 70 is chosen because there are 3 pillars that represent the devil and you throw 7 at the large one on day one, and 7 at all three on the next two days"
Many people stay an extra day meaning they need at least 70 stones. 7 (on day 1) + ((7 * 3 pillars) * 3 days) = 70. You need to strike each pillar seven times. If you miss then throw another stone. Before the pillars were replaced by walls people gathered extra stones in case they missed. --Marc Kupper|talk06:46, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
"49, because seven are thrown at each of the three pillars each day" - if you throw only at the large pillar on day one, why does the text say you throw at all three on all three days? Wlegro (talk) 15:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
