Solved: How many Maltesers would fill a bathtub? | Experts Exchange (2024)
Are you filling the bathtub with boxes or bags or with individual chocolate balls?
Individual balls - ie not in any packaging
When you fill the bathtub, do you use a loose packing, a random packing, or the densest possible packing without crushing?
I'm not sure of the difference between loose packing or random packing. Whichever it'd be if I emptied x boxes of individual balls into a bath without doing anything special to squash them in.
Or do you allow crushing of the balls or boxed in order to squeeze in as much as possible?
No, no crushing. If a bathtub is about 60cm tall and a Malteser is about 15mm in diameter, that's about 40 Maltesers high: I think a Malteser would support the weight of 40 others without crushing.
Do you want the loosest possible arrangement of boxes such that no other box can be added without moving an already added box? Do you want the loosest possible rigid packing?
Loose is fine - using the Wikipedia page's example of shaking a tub of grain to compact the grain - I'm not worried about shaking the bathtub.
Maltesers consist of a spheroid malted milk centre surrounded by milk chocolate. Maltesers are sold in a variety of packaging, including plastic bags (ranging in size from small 'fun-size' upwards), larger cardboard boxes and tubes, and plastic buckets (ranging in size from medium to very large).

Firstly, Maltesers are made up of a crunchy, light, and airy malt honeycomb centre that is then coated in milk chocolate. But what makes this centre so distinctively crunchy? The secret ingredient is malt extract, a sweet and sticky syrup that is created by sprouting and drying grains of barley before roasting them.
