nobody used my strat i guess

[Ampharos]

oh i should google some things real quick before my answer gets revealed here

i don't remember how tall giraffes are

[Haru Okumura]

My favorite comment along side answers:

"Do I stack them vertically or on top of each other"

[nutella]

strat was "estimate an ant is a millimeter, google height of giraffe, google what that is in mm"

[Arapocalypse]

nobody used my strat i guess

What was your strat?

[katze]

My strategy was “amy doesn’t think so I shouldn’t either”

[Ampharos]

ok my answer is definitely too high but not nearly as much as i feared

[Arapocalypse]

strat was "estimate an ant is a millimeter, google height of giraffe, google what that is in mm"

I just went with what felt right, then increased it a bit for the vibes!!!!

[Ampharos]

My strategy was “amy doesn’t think so I shouldn’t either”

Tbh that probably shouldn’t surprise me but I was busy not thinking

[Ampharos]

Ampharos' Answer:

2,400

i had "an ant is probably 1/10th of an inch tall, stack em on top of each other, a giraffe is prolly like 20 feet tall"

which, i slightly underestimated ant height and slightly overestimated giraffe height

but it's a lot closer than i was worried it'd be so WE TAKE THOSE

Question 4:

How many different people are within three degrees of IRL separation from you? To clarify: someone you met personally is one degree of separation. Someone they met personally would be two degrees of separation. Someone those people met personally would be three degrees of separation. Internet only interactions do not count.

[Ampharos]

I stand by my answer to this one, 3 degrees over respective lifetimes is a lot. ~1000^3.

my initial answer was 1500^3, which iirc is about 3.5 million

and then i realized "wait there are going to be a lot of repeat individuals in there. mutual acquaintances etc"

so i just said "$%#! it i'm knocking off like half of those and calling it a day"

Yeah but it's 3 degrees and only one person needs to get out of the mutual acquaintances to expand that significantly!!!!

I was originally going to go higher, but thought you'd underestimate... just not that much!!!!!
