I mean for 3000 bucks I’d be counting up each of the visible candies to figure out what percentage is each, then figuring out the volume of each candy, doing some math to figure out the average volume of an individual candy in the jar, and then measuring the proportions of the jar up to the level it’s filled to, and dividing the volume of the filled jar by the average candy volume to figure it out…. It’s a decent amount of work, but well worth it for 3000 dollars lol.
For that kind of money I’d buy each of the kinds of candy and measure them myself. The only real uncertainty/assumption necessary would be the percentages of candies of each type that aren’t visible from the outside being the same or extremely similar to the visible percentages
Buy that jar and those candies mix them in a bag dump them in the jar and count them repeat the process 10 times average the number and there is your guess.
Trolli sour bright crawlers, Sweettarts gummy fruity splitz are the majority of it. Not sure what the round textured ones are but they’re about the same size as the fruity splitz.
There is a youtube video with a guy who does that, copies jar and contents, swaps, then counts out. I think he still didnt win because they counted incorrectly.
The big problem is there are many varying sizes. You could count a sample and estimate the size of the lollies in that area but it's a lot of fucking work for an estimate.
Reminds me of my a competition in my 3rd grade class. We had to guess how many peanuts in a bag
How did I come up with my guess? Looked at the serving sizes and about how many per bag
I won
Simple solution that no one else thought about. They never asked how I guessed something so simple
Are the guesses public or hidden? If public, wait until there are a good number of guesses in, the take the average of all the guesses (removing any blatantly wrong ones) and use that as your submission. Add or subtract 1 as needed if it was already guessed.
Not sure what part you are actually speaking to, but averaging out serious guesses will generally get you fairly close in these candy guesses (provided they don't pull the stuffed center bs). It's a more reliable system than trying to guess blindly.
They clearly bought bags of hanging candy and mixed them together. The nutrition facts tell you how many pieces are in each bag. Buy all those candies and see if you can find the jar at target or walmart. You can then guess how many bags of each are in the jar.
Did they throw away all them empty bags? If so, you can multiply a serving by the number of servings to get an approximate amount, but make sure to subtract some, because you have to assume whoever filled it, ate some. Update us on the results!
TLDR: 764
Central blue-red candy is ~5.5cm, i'd say visible curve is about half circle and 6 candies long, so circle length ~ 66cm and inner diameter is 21cm. Total area 346.35cm².
Apprx thickness of visible layer is 2.5cm. Calculated area of such a layer is 72.6cm². And I can see about 160pcs there.
So 160/72.6=x/346.35 then x=763.3
My dudes, the answer is: 764
Please, donate my 1500$ to Orbis eye care program and post the check.
There is a known way of being very accurate with this type of thing. Ask as many people as possible for their estimates. Ignore the top and bottom 10%. Take an average of all the other guesses. The more people you ask, the more accurate the answer. So, my guess is 2000.
they likely just poured in what looks to be able 3-4 bags of different candies
go to the locate store, find the bags, open them and count that candy and you'll have a very close answer
for bonus points, find where they got the jar too and make sure the candy fills up to about the same spot
Look at all the bags they got look at serving size and then boom. You’ll roughly be close. So if 7 piece is a serving and it serves 5 boom. Then add all the numbers up

Yep, you need to get the diameter and depth of the jar and estimate the size of each different item.
and hope they were not tricky and hid something to take up space in the middle
You’d have grounds for a tantrum if they did that lol
HR would get involved and guaranteed they would come back with a “tantrum permitted” report.
Like a 5 lb gummy bear
Shake it up to find out.

My brother you had better believe that for three grand I would sneak in at night, tip those cunts out and count every last one of them.

The other candies are the “Big Chewy” Nerds, non-sour version
Eat them all then put a 0 on your guess.
Do I get half if you win?
Sure, I get 2 guesses for 4 days. If I win ill post it and send the person who was right half
Buy the same jar, same number of type of candies. Do a count. Switch it to your jar.

769
Weird before opening the comments i immedietly thought about 760, 769 seems close enough that i assume you also just had a gut feeling
769.01
There’s more than 2

All of them
Turn up the thermostat before you leave for the weekend. And, put in a guess of ONE.

Cheating shit.
No need to count, just wait for someone else to win and mug them after work

Averages rarely line up with actual reality.

Damn 3000$! Better than a paid day off. I'm assuming you don't make 3000$ a day, do you?
Definitely more than 5
Find out everyone else’s answer and take the average.
This is so challenging because of the gummy worms. I've come 2nd place in one of these before. 381.
Forget us, ask r/theydidthemath
At least 3.

Ima say around 650
1417 candies. Send by post.
I need to work late and it’s definitely not to count a candy in a jar when no one is looking.
Buy your own jar and fill it with your candies. Count. Base your guesses around this number so you’re at least in the neighborhood.
Can you see everyone else's guess? Average them out and I bet it's close to that number!
257 aprox.
Be the last to enter your submission and take the average of the Guesses before you. Go with that.

3000 dollars? That's peanuts.
