@oglommi i reccomend watching all 3 parts (1 hours each) from The Code. Can find it on BBC website. It's all pretty amazing!
and i was wondering the last few days, why don't we guess alot of things in this way? Like howmany planets with life you think there are in the universe? Ask 1 million people, take the average, and we will know it :)
@timb6 I've seen all of them. The planets with liffe thingy would'nt work because everybody would just say random numbers. Wich is not the same as this video.
Statistics and probability, the only math that makes my head hurt :(

TIPS for the next experiment:
1- Instead of counting all the jelly beans, weight the jar to estimate the quantity
2- Write all guesses on a spreadsheet and just calculate the average
