Wondering how you predict matzah needs, lbs. Per adult, lbs per child etc.

According to mesamchay Lev
3 lbs per adult
1.5 per child under 10

I calculate how many shleimos are needed and what percentage will be shleimos and that's more than enough matzah.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No need for more than 15 shleimos unless you do like the Gaon and break 2 per meal. You have that few shleimos?

By the time they get to CLE, lucky if 1/2 are shleimos.
Plus need 3 shleimos for each man at the seder.

Then it depends a lot on the ratio of men to women and children.
