Dwight: I’m doing some Calculations in my head. The bowl is about 75 Percent full, and it’s 15 inches By 12 inches by 6 inches (15βx12βx6β). The marbles are about ? of an inch in Diameter….
Angela: Are you actually trying to figure out the Capacity by Crunching the numbers? This is a game. You’re supposed to guess.
