I'm. So. Tempted.

In reality though, I was going to just measure the inside of their hopper and use the loose random packing density of spheres ~60-61% as my number. If a team is willing to verify with an actual random fuel dump I will give them points for honesty. Honesty points may move them on our pick lists.
