Fermi.gg tips and tricks

Fermi.gg rewards a useful estimate more than perfect trivia recall. Anchor the scale, check the unit, and adjust before locking in your guess.

01

Start with an anchor

Pick one number you trust, like a population, distance, rate, or size, then build the estimate from there.

02

Care about the order of magnitude

Fermi scoring rewards being close by factors. A sensible 10x range is more useful than a precise guess built from the wrong scale.

03

Use units to catch mistakes

Keep the unit in mind while estimating. If the prompt asks for meters, servings, or people, make sure every step ends in that same unit.

04

Reveal the math after you guess

The answer cards include a napkin-math path and source notes, so you can compare your reasoning after playing.
