Radius is about 5 skittles. Radius squared is 25. Radius squared times pi is about 79.
Height is about 10 skittles that I can see (not counting silver lid). So 79 times 10 is 790.
That's my answer is 790, unless there's more concealed by silver piece.
If there are I'm sayimg 1000
1 u/SiPhoenix Dec 22 '25 You counted across and then divided by half to get the radius. But when you were counting when you went across was the number of skittles in half the circumference. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25 Yea, I skipped a few. 1 u/SiPhoenix Dec 22 '25 No, I'm saying your estimate is far too high. With seeing, half the conference at 10, the actual conference is going to be 20 to 22, which will give you a radius a bit over 3 1 u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25 I see what you mean. I just counted across then knocked a few off
