I have a book called "Consider a Spherical Chicken". It's a 
series of real world problems like Igor's dairy cows.

sample: you're driving at 60mph on a 2 lane road in Nebraska 
(or anywhere) and you notice jackrabbit roadkill at a 
density of 1 jackrabbit/mile. You pass an average of one 
car/mile coming in the opposite direction. What is the 
density of jackrabbits in the adjacent prarie?

The idea is not to get an exact answer but a reasonable one 
in a relatively short time.
