I counted the marbles I could see, then guessed what percentage that might be and multipilated my counted result. Then I added a bit, because people tend to underestimate the number.

Lets see .... .... you can see 4 in the bottom layer at the front .... so there are probably 4 at the back.... .... so there's perhaps space for about 4 in the middle.... .... so if each layer has 12 marbles and there are about 8 layers then 8 x 12 = 96 plus 6 extra in the lid .... .... = 102!!

ps. I'll fly over to you to collect my car, David!

Wow!!!! You all are much better with the math than I am!! I don't think I'm quite that smart.
One BIG difference though.... I already KNOW how many marbles are in the jar!! ;)

But you all made some pretty good guesses. I'm very impressed! :D
