≈ 288 million eggs per day
Fermi estimates are judged by scale, so a reasonable approximation can still earn a strong score.
One way to estimate it
Use population and annual egg consumption as a rough proxy for production.
- Population≈ 340 million people
- Eggs per person≈ 300 eggs/year
- Estimate340M × 300 ÷ 365 ≈ 280M eggs/day
