Hey, is there any way to count sheets of paper without actually having to count them? Asking for a friend who's printing off the #TetZooCon schedules and has lost track of the number.Why didn't I just press 200 copies and go?

@john Count twenty sheets. Measure the depth/thickness of the stack. Make a stack ten times thicker. Won’t be perfect, but will be close.

@john you mught want to check the printer's history in your OS, which probably kept a memory of the last few jobs

@artcollisions That's a good idea. Not sure if it's accurate enough though.

@sebastien Ho ho, that just the kind of tech rabbit-hole thinking I like.

@john how accurate does it need to be?

@artcollisions being 10 out is not good.

@john other option would be, press children into service? (assuming you have access to kids you can enslave for some period of time?) (joking, just in case you were thinking I might be serious)

@artcollisions This is *exactly* what I would use kids for if I had them, but I don't. And I don't trust the cat's counting skills.Who am I kidding, she'd tell me to get lost and count my own damn paper and while I'm at it get her some of the nice food not that dried crap.

@john Weight a known number, and divide by that number?

@john this is why I can't do counted cross stitch. Tried a swan pattern once, made neck too short. Immediately gave up.

@john a generic way we do this guesstimating in other industries would be weight. I’d do grams… take x get a weight then weight total and divide by x, multiplied by the sheets counts within x.God that’s more complicated sounding than it is… and it’s about paper lol 😂
