    You could comfortably fit 456 marbles in my hollowed out head but if you got a 2 by 4 and squished them down it would be around 506 maybe 527 if you squished them down real good. Cheers and happy Labour Day weekend!

  • Wow... I was thinking the average head would fit 56 marbles. Way above average :)

    While composing an answer, i was distracted by this site---it lists 17 basic types of marbles and numerous subsets.

  • I had a look at the different types of marbles, I think that’s what you are referring to. Just specify what time and give your best guess :)

    Well the volume of a small marble is 2 cubic centimeters on average.

    With my wife's help, I emptied my head, filled it with water and then measured what came out when I leaned forward.

    That gave me a pail with approximately 1500 cubic centimeters of water.

    And even without a brain, I can divide 1500 by 2 and get 750 marbles. This post was edited by tom jackson at September 1, 2019 11:11 PM MDT

  • Lol... I was guessing 50ish marbles in an average size head. Math isn’t one of my strengths I guess :)

    The volume is usually measured in cubic centimeters (cm3 or cc). Modern humans have cranial capacities from 950 cm3 to 1800 cm3, but the average volume of a modern human brain is 1300 cm3 to 1500 cm3.

    (Edit---changed to Italics to indicate it's from an internet source---and that's where the volume of an average marble came from.) This post was edited by tom jackson at September 1, 2019 11:11 PM MDT
