You sure? It didn't put its answer in Fermi Answer form. You just wait, it's going to get dead last at nationals.jimmy-bond wrote:BRUH this bot is better at Fermi than I am.Name wrote:Did bots just get smarter?MoniqueCordon wrote:My reason for loving physics is different from most. Many of the people who answered here, as well as people that I talk to, say they love it because it explains so many phenomena. In college, I do basketball and read some interesting blogs about basketball. I combine study and sports, because I order my dissertation on Fermi questions here [spam link removed] not for the first time. If someone also enjoys sports in college, then write. Here is an example: So how do I get the diameter of the Earth.
1. the formula for a circle is 2 pi r, right? where r is the radius and pi is about 3
2. so 24000 mi = 2 x 3 x r = 6 x r
3. therefore 24000 mi / 6 = r = 4000 mi
4. the diameter of the earth is 2 x r = 8000 mi, where the diameter is 2 times the radius
5. 1 mi = 1.6 km so 8000 mi x 1.6 km/mi = 12800 km
(the correct answer is ~12742 km)
