EDIT: Did not look at date before posting.
 
It would be awesome if you could help me out to figure this out. How many candy corn can fit into this... measurements are 11" Length 11" Width and 6" height.

Here's a link for the exact shape of the bowl. It's the smallest one. I put 6" because it's not filled up all the way.

Thank youuu!:D

My calculations bring me out to 7260 pieces in there.

Correct me if I'm wrong

H*W*L=726 in^3

guessed each candy corn is 0.1 in^3

sooo 726/0.1=7260
 
Wah??? /head scratch\ I'm still old math, never got into this new-fangled math, TI's, etc. I was so happy the simple calculator came out to replace the slide rule (really dating myself here!)

You don't need a fancy calculator to do this. Take r as the radius of the pot, and pi as 3.14 and use a normal calculator.
 
I don't know what he means by length height and width, if he clarifies, I'll give my answer.

I put height at 6 inches
width at 11...which makes the radius 5.5
and length meaning from the front of the pot to the back which is also 11 in. since it is a sphere. Sorry for confusing you.

with that formula you provided I got.....
well I was going to try but I got flustered when I had to simplify 3/4 with 166.37:mad:


and whatever the answer comes out to...Should I subtract 1% for the plastic bowl itself to get a more accurate answer?

I just need a number of how many candy corn can fit in that pot. Frustrating lol.
