Today's Question CCCXLIII
How many quiz books are available in Cochin? How many bottles of coconut oil is needed per month to cater to the needs of the students of Mattancherry High School? How many people are watching a Shakeela movie in North Kerala at any given point of time? While Thomas Masun busies himself answering these questions, others need to just name the Nobel Laureate by whose name such estimation problems are known.
13 of you gave an approximately correct estimation.
