Guessing Standard Deviation from Mean.

OpenStudy (followthefez):

I get asked to guess the standard deviation, given the MEAN ONLY. I constantly get this wrong. Can someone please explain how to do this. Note: I understand the 70:95 rule thing. Which is how I am currently trying to do it.

E.g. The mean weight of chickens is 40gm; guess their approximate standard deviation. That is all I'm given.
