Saturday Morning at the Lab / liquid nitrogen

How many balloons can I fit into this small container? A whole lot if it has some Liquid Nitrogen in it too. The liquid nitrogen is so cold (almost 400 degrees below zero) that it compresses the gas in the balloons until they look almost empty (as gases like air get colder, their volume gets smaller). I bet I can get more than 20 filled balloons in this thing!
