Cookies-and-candy exploration of Bayesian versus classical statistical thinking (Bayes for toddlers)

This is an extension to "Bayesian probability for Babies". In his book, astrophysicist Chris Ferrie tells a story about candies on cookies.

Prerequisite: Basic arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions. I assume that you have read the boardbook "Bayesian Probability for Babies" by Chris Ferrie for instance by attending my previous presentation on "Bayesian Ideas in Pictures".
