I haven’t seen this film in decades, but I’ve thought of it from time to time. I am not good at estimating orders of magnitude — I have to focus hard to memorize any large numbers that I want to know, like the population of the US or the US GDP — and even then I often remember incorrectly.
Maybe that’s why this film has stuck with me. After about 30 seconds, I can see clearly that I have no chance of remembering these numeric relationships. Still, it’s fun to watch.
