Forget carnival games based on pure luck! A viral TikTok video is showing how a sprinkle of math hack can turn you into a prize-winning pro.

The culprit? Those ubiquitous “guess the number of items in the jar” contests. Overflowing with jellybeans or marbles, these games often tempt us with the promise of a sweet reward for the closest guess. But what if there was a way to outsmart the system, using a secret weapon you might have forgotten you possess… math?

Enter Alex Trueman, the TikTok user behind @smallex4ft11. In a video that’s capturing hearts (and minds!), Alex reveals a mathematical method that turned her into a champion yarn collector. At the Stitch Festival, a giant glass bowl overflowing with colorful yarn balls caught her eye. The prize? The entire basket itself!

“They were like, ‘guess how many balls are in here, win the basket,'” Alex explains. “And I was like, ‘absolutely!'”

TikTok Math Hack

Here’s where the magic happens. Alex, armed with a forgotten math lesson, started counting. First, she focused on the yarn balls snuggled at the bottom of the bowl – six in total. Then, she looked at the sides, counting another six. Assuming the bowl was a perfect sphere (think beach ball, not a funky vase), she figured the other side held a similar number. Voila! The formula for success: 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. With this number in hand, Alex confidently placed her guess.

The result? A victory dance (and a very excited mom who received the winning notification). Alex’s perfect guess is a testament to the power of math in the real world.

“That’s right,” she beams, “of course I guessed it exactly right because I had math on my side! I never win anything, this is so exciting!”

In simpler terms, Alex’s  Math Hack was essentially calculating the volume of the yarn-filled bowl. By multiplying the length, width, and height (represented by the number of yarn balls on the bottom, sides, and assumed other side), she arrived at a close estimate of the total number of balls.

The power of this video lies not just in Alex’s win, but in the wave of “aha!” moments it’s creating. Commenters are buzzing with excitement. “I need to learn this!” exclaims one.

Another, a math teacher, declares, “I’m using your video in my class the next time my students ask me why they’re learning math.”

Alex’s story is a delightful reminder that the knowledge we gain in school can have surprising and rewarding applications in everyday life. So next time you’re faced with a tempting jar of goodies and a guess-the-number challenge, remember – a little math hack might just be the secret ingredient to becoming a champion!
