Default Blueberry count?

K J,

I'm sure the OP knows that. He was looking for a number to work with,
not more uncertainty.
The value of 6lbs/gal is a measured quantity and, as written, carries an
implied uncertainty of +/- 0.5lbs. I actually gave a _range_ of weights
from 5.5lbs to 6.5lbs, and that should cover any likely variability. If
the value given were something like 6.000, it would have been a
different matter, and your point would have been appropriate.
BTW, the 6lbs/gal figure actually came from a Google search on
commercial blueeberry sales; I only verified it with a quick check of a
single pint.
Sorry if I come on a bit strong here, but I gave a very good answer,
even addressing your point, and still seem to be the only one to help
the guy out. Any one else have a number?
