Given how the moon normally raises tides by 5ft? I would guess that as more mass is added the more the raise goes by. Not doing any "real" math here but logic tells me it would be 100+ times as Fort Collins is above sea level? Final fermi answer 1.8x10^3
I presume that the more moons you add it would increase by 16.5 meters and Fort Collins is 1525 meters above sea level then it would take about 91 moons thus a fermi answer of 1x10^3 if you round up. :)

Mass of Jupiter E27 and moon is 7E22 so E4
Jupiter's mass is closer to 2E27 but same answer E4

What percent of all deaths in history have been caused by shark attacks?
~9e10 deaths in all of history. Annual deaths are ~e7 of which perhaps ~e2 (probably less than by a bit) die of shark attacks each year, so e-5 of the population dies of shark attacks - extrapolate to get Fermi Answer: 5
The actual proportion of current deaths caused by shark attacks is ~1.3e-6, so multiplying that by a total deceased population of ~101 billion yields ~1.3e5 so Fermi Answer: 5
How can you get anything more than 2 for a percentage?Unome wrote:NeilMehta wrote:Since no one has posted a question, I guess I'll go ahead:

A percentage goes up to 100 percent... You can't have 130,000 percent of all deaths be from sharks. E5 is the total deaths/E11 which is -6 or as a percentage -4. Also sources I saw online said the rates of deaths were slightly lower so possibly -5Unome wrote:I've reworded my question to make it more clear.PM2017 wrote:How can you get anything more than 2 for a percentage?Unome wrote:~9e10 deaths in all of history.
