Jane Street: Virtual Estimathon
Jane Street will be hosting a virtual ESTIMATHON!
Thursday, 20 May@ 5:00pm BST London time / 6:00pm CEST
Hosted via Zoom Register as an individual* here by Sunday 16 May:
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:
How many stop signs are in New York City? How many babies were born in 1900? How many Social Security Numbers are prime?
Typically when we come to campus, we bring swag. Since we can't meet in-person, we will provide guests access to order one of our 2021 t-shirts!
*Estimathon is a team-based competition. All participants will need to register as individuals and confirm their team name or register as individuals and we will create the teams.
