Welcome!
Welcome to Fermi Questions; the blog that asks you to think outside the box. Every Friday there will be a new order-of-magnitude estimation to ponder, as well as the answer to last week's question. Please check out this post to learn how to solve the questions. When solving, please use a pencil and paper only. After you make an estimation, you may use a calculator and internet research to check your answer. I will explain how I got my answer, but if you think I did something wrong please speak up! If you have questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas for new Fermi Questions, please comment.

Nice blog and example.
Please visit my post on Fermi Question - 'How many people all over the world take their supper at sharp 22:00 IST hours during summer season?'
at http://technogeny.blogspot.in/2012/03/how-many-people-all-over-world-take.html
You can also take the help of the technique to calculate the number at a different time of the day.
