Icon of the Seas - Guesstimania Reveal
Better late than never:
I also like diab's guess of 50k passengers.... that's like a full sport stadium.. but instead of the guests just having a chair, in the size of a sports stadium.. the guests have a whole room
so the ship would have to be like 10x-50x the size of a sports stadium
6. Number of crew working the ship?
So in reality there are roughly 3 guests per crew member. Let's compare to the previous answers and look up some extreme suggestions:
D1iab - 100 guests per crew member
Doctor Zeus - 2 guests per crew member
I know which theoretical ship I'd rather be on
My logic was around how much **** youd need to do to (a) keep it going and (b) keep ppl entertained
At 20k were talking a city but one where the inhabitants do nothing but party, shop, n get served on
Lol, I just turboed an entry when I thought the reveal was imminent. I never stopped to consider how outrageous any of the numbers I was throwing out were.
Also, I thought a knot was <1km/h. Still a bad guess of course, but less bad than if I knew how fast it actually was.
outrageous guesses are the best part of guesstimania
Does aaronk work on this ship or something?
I look forward to seeing how many slides I put down. I'm pretty sure I planted an entire water park or 2 on that ship.
the one cruise I went on, there was a lot of info about all the questions in this guesstimania, for the ship I was on... I think it was the biggest ship in the Norwegian fleet at the time. if you had an interest in that kind of thing, the info was all there. I was kind of interested, and vaguely remember like number of decks, passengers, and crew, and speed
My strategy was: Make a guess, and then make it bigger since these things are bigger than you think. I'm surprised I was so low on crew.
So my laptop died tonight. I have no way of finishing this from my phone.
Sorry guys. I'll revisit it when I get a new computer but I'm not sure when that will be.
at least you made it further than the state reveal
I'll finish this by hook or by crook.
