As A Repeated Jellybean Counting Contest Winner, I Wanted To Share With You All My Secret So That You
As a repeated jellybean counting contest winner, I wanted to share with you all my secret so that you can win prizes too this holiday season.
As a young child and adult, I have used this method and won each time. You can guess the volume in this odd unit using these steps.
Identify the shape of the jar. Is it a cube, rectangular prism or a cylinder?
What I'm describing below is for a cylinder, the most common jar shape.
First, obtain RADIUS: If you are allowed to touch and pick up the jellybean jar, you can count jellybeans in a straight line across the bottom of the jar. If you are disallowed from touching the container, just count across the the top in a straight line. The full line across of this circle is known as the diameter. Half the line across is known as the radius. You can count all the way across and then divide in half. You may be cutting the jellybean in half and get a decimal when you do this. No problem.
Second, count your HEIGHT: This is the easy step. You just count the front face of the container. Count jellybeans in a straight line up the side of the jar. This is your height.
Plug and calculate: For a cylinder jar, your volume can be found by calculating 3.14 x RADIUS² x HEIGHT.
So multiply your radius first since PEMDAS tells us the exponent needs dealt with first. Squaring a number is just that number multiplied by itself. After you have that, multiply by pi and by the jellybean height.
The answer you get could be a fraction or decimal. More than likely, the person who put the jellybeans in the jar did not include halved beans. So round up your number if it ends in .5 or higher. And round down to the nearest whole number if it ends in .4 or lower.
**If you have a complex jar shape, mentally cut the jar where the shapes change! Then calculate using the different volume formulas.
I hope this helps someone win a gift card or impress someone at a Christmas party!

I met my husband through work. This is how my mother met my dad and they own their own business now. It is also the same situation for how my sister met my brother-in-law. 😆
I love all plants and animals. I have 2 spoiled cats; I do not want kids and it is physically unlikely I can have any. Together, my spouse and I have 12 nieces and nephews.
In an emergency situation, I'm likely to freeze first and then react.
I don't do sports. I was a weak child due to early illness and then developing a chronic idiopathic condition after that. But I hope your team does the thing and scores the points. 🚩🩶
On my blog, I will share my new and old drawings, nostalgic Neopets things, amateur graphic designs, the Sims 4 builds, and other random, creative and funny things.
I've worked in retail, service and I've worked for the government. I love to help people.
I do not have an art shop and don't plan on drawing for commission. This blog was started with the intention of being a digital sketchbook, so I can look back at my progress periodically.
I do have a TikTok account specifically for my drawings. It's called xthecakeshop
My mood and energy fluctuate but I'd love to make new friends!
HMU with a random funny story, your username from Neopets or Overwatch, share a drawing with me, or feel free to lurk 👀
Welcome to my blog and I hope I make you feel something good today.
Neopets OCs Story Outline
Anna124 is a pink aisha who confidently hunts bounties.
Aeroeuf is a green grundo who is a bit nerdy and feels unnoticed.
Plot A: Love triangle @ the Grundos Cafe on Virtupets Space Station
Gargarox likes Anna124 in an open, loud manner
This chef professes his love daily by asking her out often and giving her free snacks (which she loves.)
Garg is very self confident and assured. It will only be a matter of time before she falls for me!
Anna likes Aeroeuf in a semi-open manner
The frequent patron often has to shoot down Gargarox’s requests.
She tries to drop hints to Aero, another patron.
Aero likes Anna in a completely private manner
He sometimes alienates her.
Anytime he tries to ask her out, Garg gets in the way.
Aeroeuf or Anna must gain confidence and make a move. Garg backs off only when he hears a resounding NO!
Plot B: Anna124 is a bounty hunter. She has her own spaceship. She has issues with the competency/cowardice of her current partner.
She sees Sophie the Swamp Witch’s bounty is $$$$$$
Sophie turns the current partner into a petpet. Anna catches her while distracted.
Anna needs to hire a new partner.
Hires mutant Aero (unknown it is him). Evil Fuzzles invade the spaceship.
They think it’s weird that there are plushies on the ship.
The ship is becoming damaged, the toys work like weeping angels, don’t blink, just blast em!
National Neopian: Need to catch the band of thieves - scorchio, 2 meerca brothers, usul
Aero goes undercover as bank teller; Anna plays customer. They predict this band of thieves will attack.
The thieves are so bumbling that they capture themselves.
Plot A & C have the overarching resolution explained.
Plot C: Aeroeuf starts taking Transmogrification Potions to become a mutant grundo version of himself.
He wants to become Anna’s partner.
He takes the transmogrification potion and becomes mutated.
He applies for the open job of assisting her in catching baddies.
He is a strong sidekick, dumb brain, he can’t communicate how he feels for her.
He helps crush the Fuzzles. Benefit: he blinks very slowly; making it hard for the Fuzzles to move when he’s around.
He is highly valued for his strength and slow blinking. (Side peck ♥)
He has bad side effects.
He is losing his memory and is dumb. Inner monologue is rich and vivid.
He is still fiercely loyal to her and takes a bullet for Anna during the bank heist, rendering him unconscious.
She finds an empty bottle of the potion. Aero wakes up in the Healing Springs, no longer mutated. Anna expresses gratitude but displeasure for his dishonesty. She starts a conditional romance with him: no more secrets!! >:V

Pisces? Neptune? 12th House stellium?
"You have so much potential, so much talent and ability to tap into. You can be anything, and you can be great at it, if you want. The best nanny, the best surgeon, the best mathematician, the best make-up artist, the best manager – you have what it takes. But that is also where the problem lies – what do you want to be? What do you truly want to do? You don’t know, do you? That is perfectly okay. It is to be expected, as the possibilities are endless for you."
