Anonymous ask Dr. Data the following question.

Dear Dr. Data,
Do you have any tricks for helping us estimate objects inside of a 3-dimensional object (for instance - how many balls are inside of the jar)?
Here is your answer: Let's say you want to estimate the number of gumballs in a jar. First, count the gumballs on the top layer of the jar. Then, count the number of gumball going up and down the length of the jar. Finally, multiple the top layer by the length of the gumballs. You have an estimate of how many gumballs are in the jar.
We hope the next time you have to make an estimate you get close!
Yours truly,
Dr. Data
