Anyone up to count sprinkles?
Let's see if this simulation worked in real life!

For non-automated, real life counts, would be good to have the standard deviation of ingested data / time to arrive at total count.
1) use sprinkles of all one color shade (other than frosting color).
2) take picture with filter color of sprinkles.
3) either a or b
a) print out the picture so that sprinkle spots allow light to shine through & non-sprinkle area blocks light shinning through.
b) show picture full screen.
5) Figure out a chart showing the average size / number of sprinkles based on light intensity / generated sound.
chart calibration test case: use tape/paper to block more and more of a cake size screen holes in order to calibrate the light reduction ratio.
aka 3 meters of sprinkles gives 90% reduction in light for given cake size. ~1 screen hole (1mm average sprinkle size) over 3m -> 3000 sprinkles.
