1. Either side of 300
If I have to pick a specific number, I'd say 278.

3. Impossible to know without a side shot as well, or preferably an overhead angled shot.
That jar might be a cylinder, as it appears, or it might go back another 10 feet for all we know.

We also don't know that those are actually gumballs in there. Could be a trick question.

And is there anything else inside other than these supposed gumballs?

Way too many variables are left undefined in this so-called "test".

8. I think I need to adjust upward a few numbers to compensate for those extra few at the top.
New guess... 293

Final Ansah!

11. I'll say 80 cause the jar looks only half wide
Maybe they aren't even gumballs?

13. None. It's not a jar, it's only the image of a jar and thus can contain nothing

MOST of my stuff is ripped to begin with -- although
sometimes I'll make something.

Speaking of which... have you seen my taint?

234 from calculations, plus 10 for what happens up in the neck of the bottle.

I'm imagining a life of leisure on the French Riviera because of this internet question. Can't wait.

34. Are you saying I cheated?
Well, I never! That's an outrageous accusation. Outrageous, egregious, preposterous. And entirely accurate.

35. Me, too.
I'm just not that smart--and I think my life history amply demonstrates that I'm not that lucky.
