Count the candy hearts contest. Will you help me win?
Hello CP!

My "office" is holding a "count the candy hearts" contest and the winner will receive a pretty bad-ass massaging chair cover. As I work from home and complain about my back too much, I am hoping to win.

Are there any mathematicians or super good guessers out there who can get this on the nose or very close? Unlike most things on CP, if you guys could somehow come up with a consensus, that would be helpful too.

Thanks in advance. McHammer finger dancing. Clap, clap.

Note- Submission date is 1/27 and results 1/28. Will keep you posted on what I end up submitting and the answer.

Added last year winning pics for reference. Winning number = 1157

The volume of the jar then is pi*(5.3/2)^2*8*.4 = 70.6 in^3

The volume of a candy heart is .5 in wide * 0.625 in long * 0.25 in high (estimate on the height) = 0.078125 in^3

# candy hearts = volume of jar / volume of candy heart = 904

In true Price is Right fashion = 903

The jar isn't a perfect cylinder, the lid will take up some of the space, they aren't perfectly packed.

Probably about .65 solids.

I'd guess 588. May need a little luck to go with it, but you'll be in the ball park.

There was a thread on Reddit recently about a guy who won every year and nobody knew why; turned out they used the same jar each year and stored it after each contest ended. The dude just remembered how many were in there the first year he participated Apparently nobody really cared to remember each year. With that in mind, Mike, I'd suggest you guess 1157

Taking the jar last year as 0.75x0.75x1.7 sharpies, this year's jar is almost exactly half its size. So it will be about half as many hearts. Yields 578. Verified.
