- That sounds like an interesting Fermi Problem! Let's try to figure it out.

- How many students are in Stacy Middle School?
- 180 days
- How many days are in a school year?
- I think I can find some of this information! We have the bathroom duty spreadsheet. I could also ask students how long they usually spend in the bathroom. And we know there are 180 days in each school year. I bet the office knows how many students are enrolled at Stacy.
