Not hard to do if you weigh groups of the rice and take an average weight/grain then divide the total weight by that. Bro forgot to add his uncertainty tho ๐Ÿ’€

The total weight would decrease as some of the water evaporated but you might be able to account for that

HIS uncertainty? Your method results in uncertainty. This guy counted each piece individually, as one should.

With weighing you have a confidence interval, when counting each grain of rice you know.
