Jane Street Estimathon

Next Monday, Jane Street will host an Estimathon in META 🧩. There will also be free food 😋 provided!

But what is an Estimathon?

The Estimathon is a team based contest that combines trivia, game theory, and mathematical thinking. Teams will have 30 minutes to work on a set of 13 estimation problems, the winning team being the one with the best set of estimates. Example questions include:

• The number of Boeing 747's ever built
• The number of calories you'd be eating if you had "one of everything" from the Taco Bell menu
• The length of the shortest border any country shares with Russia, in miles

We will also have time at the end of the Estimathon for a Q&A with Jane Street Traders, Software Engineers, and Recruiters for anyone who would like to learn more about careers at Jane Street. More details can be found in the facebook event! Sign up by yourself or with your team at latest the 3rd of February here!

TLDR;

⭐ Where? META

⭐ When? Monday the 7th of February 17:50
