Reee it's difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn't mentioned.
1/18th of the student population walked out.
200 is over sixteen dozens
That's almost dozens of dozens.
It's more than one and one third dozen dozens.
1.38̄*dozen^2
This Stanford math is over my head.
It's about a bakers bakers dozen bakers bakers dozens.
Also known as a dirty dozen
What’s that in Baker’s dozens?
My father worked at that factory for 60 years! That's almost 80 years!!
How much is that in his majesty’s imperial units?
Does it weigh more than a duck?
2 hectopeople or 1.6 decadozen
That's almost one full stoneperson!
On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.
Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.
There's a video floating around.
1700 students graduating, little shock one may have had a cell phone
I guess that’s kind of like dozens…
