About this test

Fermi-style estimation applied to physical space: given a container's or floor's dimensions (shown as a labeled figure) and a real-world benchmark (item size, packing efficiency, or per-person floor space), estimate how many items or people fit. A genuinely distinct Fermi-problem sub-family from -001's single-quantity chains and -002's two-scenario comparisons — the classic 'how many golf balls fit in a school bus'-style volumetric/packing estimation documented throughout the Fermi-problem pedagogy tradition, which here additionally requires reading dimensions off a figure and applying a packing-efficiency or occupancy-density factor, concepts neither prior test in this category touches.
