For some of these, I estimate the number of items the base and then multiply by the height. Is there a better strategy, especially for items that don’t fit into distinct layers?

If you’d like to discuss your guesses, please use spoiler tags!
I don’t math so good, so I roughly counted layers and used the formula for area of a circle, reduced slightly for gaps. First guess was a good 10%-15% off but got within 12 on the second. Then I seriously overcorrected on my third.
Nice work. Cylinder volume is just area of circle multiplied by height, nothing too fancy. Imagine a circle being extruded by one dimension (height)
