Summary

Harry wants to start the New Year off a winner, and decides to enter a contest to estimate the number of people gathered in Times Square. However, his attempts to get down to Times Square before midnight are foiled by a series of comic mishaps. With just ten minutes left, he comes up with the idea to find a photo of the Times Square revelers on the internet. Using simple population sampling techniques, Harry is able to estimate the size of the crowd and win the big prize.
