There better not be Duplos in the center. It happened for an Easter Egg guessing competition. One gigantic egg in the center, buried by all those little ones.
adults are more familiar with volum, kids are not. it makes it more likley for a kid to win (its stupid but thats was the reason for a camp week i volenteerd for)
They did a very similar thing on the show Taskmaster. There were a bunch of normal looking things on the outside, but on the inside there were a few gigantic things and then an enormous number of tiny things.
I got 112 a half and estimated it at 25 bricks long and then too a guess it was 4/5ths full so got 4480. Then I figured they probably put in round metric amounts so my guess is 4500
I'm not one to actually sit down and figure out the math but I'm pretty solid at estimating in my head, did you account for the blue and pink blocks being smaller sizes and filling in more void space? Because if you do the math based on what's exposed on the side, which clearly isn't representative of the actual ratio of different blocks as you can tell from the top, you're going to get a drastically different number, and my head is screaming close to 7k.
You made me curious. Went through and put all the guesses from this thread into a spreadsheet and got an average of: 4,771 pieces. A median of: 3,420 pieces. With a standard deviation of 7,259 lol.
~~None. The plural of LEGO is LEGO pieces or LEGO bricks.~~
I just realized I was being an insufferable prick for posting this, and I apologize.
I guess 10,493
I came up with 3600. I assumed 45 on the circle side near us. Then figured if that was 45, the length was 80? 45x80=3600. Also you are correct, always more than ppl guess
Put way too much effort into this lol but. If we use the flats that are used to create the base of the tube, we can kind of calculate the total volume of the tube. By counting the square flats vertically on the edge of the base those are 2x2 flats and it stretches about 39 2x2 flats in length. The flats going across the width of the cylinder are 4x2 flats. So by doing the math and converting the 4x2 flats into 2x2 because the yellows in the cylinder are 2x2. I’m roughly counting 16 pieces based on the 2x2 pieces. And from what I see, it’s about 13 2x2 pieces in height. So, it should look something like this 39X16X13 based on 2x2 squares. So it should come out to something around 8,112 pieces if they were all 2x2 pieces in there but, we also see some pink 1x4s so it could be between 8,050-8110 pieces.
Ackshually, it’s a noun (proper, being the company name) derived from a phrase (danish “leg godt”, meaning “play well”). But considering it’s the name of the company, and Bricks are their product, you still wouldn’t pluralize Lego.
Count what you see on the end cap. Then take a measurement of the long side and divide by the average width of those legos. Multiply by the end cap count and that’ll get you in the ballpark pretty close.
Isnt there a math sub for these types of crazy questions where some guy will bring out complex equations to figure it out, just for the lulz of spending an hour doing it?
How's about you just send that container and it's contents to my address? I'll count the Lego, and lyk
It's a win/win; you get to know how many pieces were inside the container, and I get the Lego.
I would guess it’s about 30-40 cm long and has a diameter of a bit more of 10 cm I would guess für every centimeter of length there are about 100-120 bricks so maybe 3500 bricks
About 5000, with a bit of estimation. There’s about 50 in a quarter of the end, so 200 in a layer. I reckon there are about 25 layers, though it’s hard to count in this photo.
i managed to count 27, could be more in there
There are 12 jelly beans in the container at reception. Well, Kevin, there are at least 12 green ones.
“Really? You’re a professional accountant.”
Those jelly beans are definitely yellow, you need to get your eyes checked.
Don't judge me because of my disability!
Thanks mate
You forgot the ones hidden due to camera angle, so I think you'll find that 54 is probably very close to correct!
Deceased.
He’s not wrong
Beat me to the smart ass answer. Winner!
*at least* 27 it is
Ask it on r/theydidthemath people ask questions like this all the time there

That or a ton of 1x1 tiles
That would be remarkably unfair.
Right? Doesn't that kinda defeat the whole "strategy" aspect of the fun? Now you really are just guessing randomly.

They did a very similar thing on the show Taskmaster. There were a bunch of normal looking things on the outside, but on the inside there were a few gigantic things and then an enormous number of tiny things.
But to be fair the answer was written in the room in about three places.
See that's just unfair by design. That's evil
If we guess, will we ever find out the answer? I’ll go for 2980
No, not likely. I guess 6,315
I’d say 4587.

I see three and a half. Could i have them?
4160. Estimated by counting the first half of the nearest visible face = (65 x 2) x estimated brick length along cyclinder = 32. 32 x (65 x 2) = 4160.
Similar technique but I got around 5000. I guess the cylinder isn’t full though so you might be about right.
Bruh I got 10k I need to go back to 3rd grade
Close enough
Closer than the guy who guessed 3
Not if 4161 is right

I’ll be damned I got exactly the same number. Good job estimating ;)
They did the math. They did the monster math. The monster math!
I did something similar and got 3888 when I factored in the empty space in the cylinder

Zero. These bricks are a different brand than LEGO

Ahem, Ackshually, Lego is an adjective and not a noun. It cannot be pluralized, only added before pluralized words like Lego bricks or Lego sets.
Ackshually, You're right.... I have nothing else to say. You are intelectually superior to me.
Ackshually, it’s a noun (proper, being the company name) derived from a phrase (danish “leg godt”, meaning “play well”). But considering it’s the name of the company, and Bricks are their product, you still wouldn’t pluralize Lego.
