On Tuesday, September 24, Landmark Integrated math classes invited the campus to participate in an experiment called "Wisdom of the Crowds". The idea is that when trying to guess the answer to a finite thing, like the weight of a cow or how many jelly beans are in a jar, the average of the crowds guesses is more accurate than the majority of individual guesses.

From how many drops of blue liquid can fill a circle to the price of a collection of food items to guessing the weight of a car door (yes it was taken off the car!), students put their own creative spin on the experiment.
