Halibut: The stock assessment and quota numbers for 2010 halibut are still months away. We expect the same for 2010 good to great silver fishing getting underway by the second week of July and lasting well into September. I suspect the difference in results has to do with the type of containers I used as well as the fact the volume of an M&M varies from sample to sample. Most years large numbers seem to think that’s somewhere within range of Sitka. I also felt that the 0.685 value was more reasonable based on my research. The computer will not ask the user for their number at the beginning of the game, but guess it.
#CRYSTAL BALL NUMBER GUESSER CODE#
' In this game, the code will try to guess the number the player is thinking of. I didn't want to use my own value to derive the formula because I wanted something to compare the results of my experiment to. Number Guesser (C) In this project, you will use C to recreate the favorite childrens game of 'Im thiking of a number between 1 and. This does differ from the packing ratios that I calculated from my own experiment which hovered around 0.67. This was based on the results of a group of students' experiments. I found a paper on the University of Delaware's Department of Mathematical Sciences website that stated that the packing ratio of an M&M (spheroid) is 0.685. Thanks!Ĭhristopher Wanamaker (author) from Arizona on May 15, 2013: Interesting hub! With this formula at hand, I can finally confront interviewers who ask questions like how many M&M's into this container, etc. Math!įrienderal from Singapore on June 11, 2014: I've seen these contests around town and have often wondered how anyone could possibly get close to the correct answer. I have more experience with money than candy! Fascinating hub, will share!Īrco Hess from Kansas City, Kansas on October 08, 2014: I've never tried guessing the candy, but I won a lunch once for estimating how many dollars worth of dimes were in a jar. Interesting! I thought it was just a matter of taking a wild guess! Or filling up a similar sized container then counting the M&M's. Jayme Kinsey from Oklahoma on November 20, 2014: Patsy Bell Hobson from zone 6a, Southeast Missouri, USA on November 20, 2014: (Note: There seems to be one typo error for the second formula under the section “A Lone Blogger's Quart M&M Estimate”, where the statement “where the container's volume (V) is in fluid ounces” should be “where the container's volume (V) is in milliliters.”) As you have rightly done, one of the critical factors that determine the formula accuracy is the “container shapes and sizes”, that can greatly affect how well or the number of the items (M&M’s) that can be packed into these various-shaped containers. Petersburg, Florida.Interesting simplified formula you have derived for this computation, with a sufficiently good accuracy for this purpose. For instance, if you've played three games and took 4, 6, and 2 guesses, your average would be 4. Keep track of how many guesses each game has taken and show the average number of guesses your code has used.
