This harbour has troubled me, my friends, and others for years. This large debate has a typical three answers. 1.You would sink. 2. you would be gifted to walk across. 3. You would sink down to around your ankles but no more. The pool would be approximately
Loosely full, you would put down down.
Packed, you'd walk across safely.
You'd need to define "full" appropriately to get the right counter-statement.
However, I do believe it would have to be packed like

Skittles are telling but would give a little because your feet would push them apart. You would sink in a little but would be able to walk across.

if they were overflowing tight and i mean TIGHT then you could walk across...
if they were loose then you would probably sink a few inchs then you could swim across :)

Loosely full, you would fall in down.
Packed, you'd walk across safely.
You'd need to define "full" appropriately to get the right take.
However, I do believe it would have to be packed like sardines since

you would pit. skittle have no friction for them to hold a weight of 100 pounds or more. the skittles would act like plates because they have no sides they are even-handed oval so will slide to form around your body thus allowing you to sink. i

How long to fill 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools with Skittles if you alternated adding 2, and then eating 1?

So you are basically adding one at a nevertheless. But at what interval?
An Olympic pool is 50mx25mx2m for a total volume of 2500 cubic meters. Times ten pools is 25,000 m3.
Each cubic meter is 1000 liters, so there would be 25,000,000 liters.

Learning is Fun: What is Skittle Pool?

Obviously the primary willing came out in 1970, which would explicate my unfamiliarity on the question. Being born in February of 1979, I missed out on most of the well-connected events of the decade and the ones I witnessed have prolonged been forgotten in the non-working remembrance bank of a newborn infant.
So from what I herd together, Skittle Pool is a tabletop billiards tool that can recruit the same scoring systems as most example pool games, except that rather than of using a cue burden, you hit pay dirt the cue ball on a rotating effort before each at once and smack into the aforementioned cue ball with yet another cue ball fastened to a pendulum course.
