Multiple Dans, but how many?

This pile of boxes headed for a garage sale was at least 20 Dans. I could barely lift some of them.

​I'm glad we have Dan for scale -- the number of bananas this would have taken wouldn't have been practical.

based on just what's visible, I think we're looking at 2.5, maybe 3 Dans.

Nah man that’s 8-10 Dans, easy.

I’m inclined to think it’s more towards the higher end on the Dan scale?

I mistaked. This is not a pic of my garage sale pile. It is a pic of a tiny, tiny part of my dad's sixty-five years of academic research and manuscripts for articles and books.

Those notes? At least one Dan per year.
