Jane Street Virtual Estimathon®!
Tuesday, 25th November @ 6:00pm CET
Location: Virtual (on Zoom)
The Estimathon is a mind-bending mixture of math and trivia. In teams, you'll attempt 13 Fermi problems in 30 minutes, ranging from totally trivial to positively Putnamesque. Be prepared to come up with the best set of confidence intervals! Sample problems include:
Do you know how many computers were connected to the Internet on January 1, 1989?
Or how many YouTube videos have more than 1 billion views?
What about the bandwidth beneath the Atlantic Ocean?
Sign up here by Friday, 21st November, if you're interested in attending. Encourage your classmates to register to join us! Swag will be provided to confirmed attendees.
All attendees MUST have access to Zoom accounts and be willing to use them for this event.
Teams: We cannot guarantee you will be on the same team as any friends you list, but we will do our best. Teams will be created once the event starts. The size of teams depends on the number of attendees. Each participant must complete a separate registration form.
We hope to see you there!
