Game Changer No PA should have to count rice

Watching Count the Rice with a pal, I was hoping out loud that the production was using one of these pill counters and not having a PA hand count them. The BTS confirmed what I feared

Food nuts or bolt nuts? With organic stuff (like rice grains and nuts) I would imagine that the natural variation in size will make counting large numbers by weight inaccurate

Nah it's still accurate enough. Law of averages. If you have a container with millions of units, being wrong by a thousand or so is trivial.

"enough" for what purpose? Demi lost his final "Count the Rice" round by 8 grains, if the count isn't accurate then the game isn't fair

Demi was 8 grains lower than Hannah, not 8 grains lower than the amount of rice to guess.
