Time for a humble-brag.
This is also the time when everyone around the Christmas dinner table pointed at me and started accusing me of being a witch
Mom had a contest to guess how many Jellybeans were in a jar. As a painting contractor I have to know how to estimate the surface area of a vessel like a giant oil or sewage treatment tank. You can add another math equation and determine the volume of the tank or vessel.
I surreptitiously wrote down this formula and used it when my Mom brought out the jar of jelly beans. I guesstimated the size of the jar and the size of a jelly bean. Did the math on a paper napkin.
Was within 6 out of 460.
They don't let me play anymore. I'm a witch.
