Count the Objects Task for Data Collection

When I ran across this count the objects task last fall, I thought it would make a great classroom activity for anyone needing to collect one variable data to analyze.

The task is from Stephen Barr’s Mathematical Brain Benders: 2nd Miscellany of Puzzles.

I see so much potential for using this activity in a statistics class. You could split students into two groups. One group is allowed to move their hands. The other group isn’t. How does this affect their accuracy?
