Keeping up with all your friends can be tough. Classmates, teammates, and friends on Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram can accumulate into hundreds or even thousands. The Dunbar number estimates that the maximum number of stable social relationships that a typical person can maintain is 150150.

If you focus on your schoolwork for 4040 hours per week and sleep 88 hours each night, about what fraction of your non-working, waking hours would you spend maintaining those 150150 relationships if you talked to each person for an average of 1515 minutes each week?
