estimating

one of my weird superpowers happens to be estimating. i don’t know why my brain works that way, but if you ask me how much a rehab project is going to cost, or what four cups of flour look like, or what the population of dallas texas is, i can usually get close, and always within an order of magnitude. anyway i just tried my hand with these needles. looks like an average of four tufts per pile. five needles per tuft. five columns across six rows down. a hundred needles per horizontal row times six. six hundred needles. plus or minus.
