  Speaker 1: the traffic you're going to get for Halloween. How do
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you know how much candy to buy?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just in general, exactly.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: If you've lived in a house and you kind of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: know your pattern, that's right.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Easy, right, Well, yeah, there's a little formula. Shipped and
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Mars Wrigley have come up with a mathematical equation for
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: us to figure out how much candy to buy for
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the trick or treaters. I love this because this is
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: a biggie because it's expensive.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, if you have extra candy,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I always feel like, well, oh, we all.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Win, we all win. Exactly.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: So they're saying, what you need to do is how
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: many hours do you think you're going to be handing
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: out candy. You multiply that by the number of neighborhood
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: kids you expect at your door each hour, and then
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: you multiply that by the number of pieces you think
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the kids can take. So they said, then you should
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: have enough. In other words, if you're going to let
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: forty kids take two of fun sized candies a piece
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: per hour for five hours, you need four hundred pieces
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: of candy.

  Speaker 1: Gotta be Albert Einstein here plus equals square.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You need a lot of candy, Yeah, you do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: This is what we took math for. Guys. You're always
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: wondering why am I taking this? Now?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm very torn because I keep picking up
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the giant bags of candy that, like I said, cost
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a lot, right, and they're the little tiny ones.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That's fun size, right, Yes, that's the fund size.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, there used to be snack size, so they were
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a little bit bigger. Good point, and I want them
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: to have that. That's what I want to have, not
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: these little tiny.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: One calculator that's provided, or you can do is that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: This this is then we would have to change it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We'd have to go back to Einstein, right and ask.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Him an X plus y z No, but it kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of it's.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Not as nuts as it sounds. So forty kids if.
