Has anyone ever done any research on estimating piece count? Specifically,
I'm curious about two techniques in particular: by weight and by minifig.
Understanding that bulk buckets and tubs may skew either method, is there an
average number of "pieces per pound" or "pieces per minifig" given a random
collection of sets pooled together? For example, if I knew I had a pile of
parts weighing ten lbs., would others be able to approximate the piece count?
What if I knew that a different pile contained 100 minifigs? Could I
approximate the piece count of that pile?
