In the story Gulliver’s Travels (read the Wikipedia page if you’ve never heard of it), the 6-inch tall Lilliputians imprison and tie up Gulliver. Reasoning that he is 12 times their height, they feed him $12^3 = 1728$ times the volume that an average Lilliputian ate. Why was this not a good estimate? Give a better estimate.
I am confused about how to construct a relationship between height and food consumption. So I tried to solve it by using the power law.
