    My own guess is 14.25 full cords. I used the volume of a cone instead of a partial sphere but a flattish shape like that will end up with almost the same volume. I suspect the differences will be in our assumptions about diameter, height and shrinkage when split, not in the math itself. I sure hope the folks on the pile are close to 6 feet tall because I used that rough number in my assumptions.

    Calculator. That's the only way I do too. Well unless you have a face cord, or a third of a cord. .33 of a cord.

    Was just thinking if i have a bunch of neat rows, then a part of one at the end, would take cubic feet of that last row, say 60 cubic feet. That would be .47 cord. And gotta break ties somehow.
