Oxford vs. Cambridge Estimathon
I’m really excited to announce that we are running our first ever Oxford vs. Cambridge Estimathon virtually on Wednesday 27th October!
The Estimathon* is a team based contest that combines trivia, game theory, and mathematical thinking. Teams will have 30 minutes to work on a set of 13 estimation problems, the winning team being the one with the best set of estimates.
Example questions include:
- The number of Boeing 747’s ever built - The number of calories you’d be eating if you had “one of everything” from the Taco Bell menu - The length of the shortest border any country shares with Russia, in miles
We will also have time at the end of the Estimathon for networking with Jane Street Traders, Software Engineers, and Recruiters for anyone who would like to learn more about careers at Jane Street.
Please see the attached flyer for full information.
