were at a picnic and there was a chance to win a gumball machine filled with M&M peanuts and
all you had to do was guess the number closest to how many M&M's there were. I thought, perfect, where's Simon thinking he was way better at estimating than me, but little did I know that he and Rainny, (our exchange student) from China, who LOVES MATH!, would take the challenge.
So they didn't just guess but they measured, counted, did some more figuring and YES, we won the gumball machine with a count of 850. The machine held 847 M&M's. Now our challenge has become, how to get rid of all the M&M's, and not end up with lots of cavities. :)
