This is really taking me back to doing Fermi questions for math competitions :P I feel like I could see a version of this as part of a party games pack, seeing who could guess the closest numbers consistently. Cool idea!

Developer

Didn't know Fermi questions had a name, so that's cool to learn! It was very much the vibe i was going for when making this. Party game would definitely be the direction to take something like this in.

Thanks for playing!

Fun concept! The 1/ feature was super useful though I did forget to press the / sometimes haha. Great job!

This idea definitely pop up in my mind when I first heard the theme, but damn, this is more fun than I though it could be. Great execution.

"How many Shreks does it take to match the size of Texas". Perfection.

Cool Game. Would love some visual indicator to make the guessing more fun.

Developer

That's fair. I did want to do something like that but I was kind of worried that giving too much information would make the game more about the math problem of comparing two things and less about the trivia/guessing dimension of trying to guess sizes yourself.

It's also turned out to be pretty of difficult to figure out a system that can display both a hamburger and a mountain to scale at once in any reasonable way, and i didn't really have the time (and hud space) to figure that out.
