Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts

I did

V=pi×r²×h

and estimated:

r=4 (from some at the top left)

h=12

This gave 603. The link said too high, so realized I’d neglected packing factor. Google said that spheres typically pack at 64% efficiency, so I guessed 386. Too low.
