fermi estimation

guess big numbers from first principles. within 10ร— counts.
Enrico Fermi taught physicists to break impossible questions into small, knowable pieces. "How many piano tuners in Chicago?" becomes population ร— households ร— piano ownership ร— tuning frequency ร— hours per tuning รท tuner work year. Every piece you get wrong averages out.
Rule of thumb: being within an order of magnitude (10ร—) is a good estimate. Being within 3ร— is excellent.
