"Here is one answer from the proverbial back of the envelope. Assuming a
70 Kg person (not too bad a guess), whose density is 1 gm/cc (also a good
number), and that an average cell is a 10 micron cube (that one can be
argued about or refined but you do not have to remember the value of Pi or
the formula for the volume of a sphere) the number of cells in a person is
7x10e13."
