Try Goggling "Fermi Questions." Enrico Fermi was famous for (among
other things) coming into class and asking "how many holes in the
soundproofing tiles in the whole ceiling?" and then teaching his
class how to use magnitude estimation to answer it.

Hi,
I'm currently talking to my students about psychophysical methods and
would like to give them some real-world examples of magnitude
estimation. I can come up with things like pain, comets, and
earthquakes, but I wonder if any of you have better examples.
Thanks,
Carol
