Let's count to 100,000,000 [continued!]

15046. I worked mine out to the minute. From the moment I posted after my five day ban, ergo meaning all the group was able to post, I worked out the average. Accounting for leap years, naturally.

[lugia95]

15047. So how accurate would you say it is?

[Jackal]

either way it's about 10-14 lifetimes

15048

[quack98]

15049. Accurate? Not at all, I told you, the post count varies too much depending on circumstances to get a decent estimate. Reliability, almost perfect, no matter how many times you work the average out precisely, you will get that answer or close.

[lugia95]

15050. Either way, the fact is that it's ridiculously high, and no matter how fast we post, we're probably not going to finish it any time soon.

[SirBlaziken]

15051, ok.... I'm just going to wait for this to finish.

[lugia95]

15052. It pretty much has, tbh.

[Jackal]

accounting for dick's extra rates (leap years, smaller incriminates) I'd say it would take 900-1,300 years if fluctuations aren't TOO contrasting.

15053

[SirBlaziken]

15054,  And if they are?

[lugia95]

15055. Then the average time becomes pretty much impossible to calculate.

[Jackal]

then who knows. I'm imagining that the post rate could either constantly or exponentially increase/decrease. if it will do both, then I have no idea.

15056

[quack98]

15056. A few things to consider. Say I broke my neck, and then forgot about the forums. I'd say around 30% of posts were mine! ergo if I left, or anyone for that matter, the average posts per day or w/e would drastically decrease.

Also, our sample data is predominantly in summer, ergo not giving a fair representation of the year

[SirBlaziken]

15057, ok.... I'm just going to say, ok.

[Jackal]

I'm not going to spend my time calculating the post rate for 4 different times of the year. too much to do. just go with the fact that this milestone is too great to acheive
15059

[Wolstenholme]

15060. Maths.... this is all going almost completely over my head...



*Whispers in a strained voice* How did I get a B?
