Do you have no imagination HedCold? No creativity?
half a bowl of marshmallows; half a bowl of those other things. Various colors in the marshmallows. The games just write themselves.
For instance...
What's the proportion of marshmallows to non marshmallows? Plot the percentage for each bowl and figure out the standard deviation
Each color versus every other color? Is there a pattern? Why do you feel they would pick that pattern, or is it random? obviously you will need excel to track this formula as well.
Going from box to box, do these patterns appear more apparant if you shake up the box before you pour the cereal, thus indicating that some contents weigh more, and therefore settle in the box?
Put your research together in bound memo form with appropriate appenices, and present to your parents at the end of each box of cereal. Then they get more.
At least, that's what I did when I was as kid.
