You are at a party and one of the games that they are playing is "Guess how many M&Ms are in the container." You have paid very close attention to this unit and now have the ultimate "guessing" skills required to win this game EVERY time. The container is a glass cylinder. Which method will win you the container of M&Ms? Try to count how many M&Ms there are by estimating how many are in the middle being covered up. Count how many M&Ms you can see through the jar and multiply that by pi. Count how many are on the bottom layer and estimate by a rough count how many layers there are up

Well first you have to count all the layers in the jar and then count the M&M's in the first layer and do that untill all layers are counted and then multiply by pi.
  Hope this helps :).
