Description

Draws on Enrico Fermi's theory of approximation in a series of word puzzles that demonstrates how to build on available information to extrapolate numeric solutions, calculating such random conundrums as the number of licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop and the length of time needed for a monkey to type Shakespeare plays.
