Eleven neutrinos were detected by the Kamioka water Cerenkov detector in Japan, following the explosion of supernova SN1987a. The Kamioka detector had a fiducial mass of 1000 metric tonnes. How many human beings, therefore, actually 'saw' the explosion of SN1987a

Hint - consider the structure of the human eye.
