Request Approximately how many hairs does a cat have on their body?

Sometimes I look at my cat's fur and wonder how many hairs she actually has on her body. My girlfriend thinks that it is about a million but i think that it is more like in the tens to hundreds of millions. The more I think about it the less confident I am even about the order of magnitude it might be. Is it possible the number is in the billion? I would genuinely love to see a good attempt at a ballpark estimate.

Request How many cars are on the I-10 freeway at the same time?

During a recent road trip, a youngster in the back seat asked this question about the specific State Route we were on. That road was only about 15 miles long, went through no cities, and was not heavily traveled, so I posited that there were likely around 100-150 cars on it at the same time we were.

Said youngster then asked about “that road that goes from California to Florida” and I brainlocked. Unlike the little road we were on, that one goes through multiple major cities and routinely has heavier traffic in them.

Let’s say we are talking about 10am Pacific time on a non-holiday Wednesday in January. So it’s 10am in LA, 11am in Phoenix, Tucson, and El Paso, Noon in San Antonio, Houston, and New Orleans, and 1pm in Tallahassee and Jacksonville. Ignore the spurs and loops (410, 610, etc) so just the main line from California to Florida. And let’s say vehicles rather than cars so everything counts as 1 whether it’s a Corolla or a bus or an 18-wheeler.

I told the youngster that I guessed “at least 100,000 cars” but that I knew some folks on the internet who were smarter than me at figuring out stuff like this. And here I am. :)
