Maybe another bowl or more details about the problem in general just to make it a bit more challenging. My estimate for this problem was 50 coffee beans. I made this guess because the bowl on the left looks like a little bit more than double the amount of the first bowl.

I think to make the question easier to understand, you could have put another cup to compare the problem making it easier to estimate. My estimate is 4 ice cubes which is 4 oz. I am confident in my answer because I believe that this will be the perfect amount to cover the spaces between the ice cube.

I dont think you could have done anything better to make the
