This is the Estimation game: a game where we as a group have to answer 10-15 questions of the style of "If all the Instagram photos uploaded in a day were on one continuous roll of film, how long would that film be?" Or "How correlated are 'I am diligent' and 'New ideas and projects sometimes distract me from previous ones'?" with a 90% confidence interval, an upper and a lower bound in which we are 90% sure that the real number is contained within. It will take about 2-2.5 hours. The purpose of this game is to figure out how good you are at doing Fermi estimates, to test and calibrate your intuitions about non-trivial real world questions
