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?
2 hectopeople or 1.6 decadozen
That's almost one full stoneperson!
Does it weigh more than a duck?
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.
I guess that’s kind of like dozens…
