Title: MATHS! A problem for the clever...
Post by: SmallBlueThing on 08 January, 2011, 11:39:26 AM
Right- I've come over all Carol Vorderman.

Here are my stats from the Board profile Information.

Posts:  2287 (0.814 per day)
Date Registered:  May 01, 2003, 07:17:40 PM

My question: If I continue my average posting rate of three posts per day, when will my posting rate read "1 per day", and how many posts will I have at that time?

And show your working.

 :o

Is that really, actually, the working? So that's 784 more posts, which will be estimated to occur on 26th of September? Brilliant! That's brilliant! I am very impressed. Thanks!

I've also noticed that my average posts per day has recently been a lot more than the 3 I figured when typing that. I figure that's cos I love this site so much, and the continual crossover between here and Facebook has engendered a kind of fraternity that I didn't feel previously- this has led to more time being spent here, and more posting.

I've also realised that being obsessed with getting your posting stats to read "1 post per day" is really, really, reeeally sad. But, like heading eggs into a bucket, it's good to have an unobtainable dream, here in the future!

There are men who fantasise about that sort of thing.

I have DONE IT! And six months ahead of schedule! I'm, sadly, quite pleased with myself and may now have a biscuit.

3.644 per day.

Never mind, Summer's coming the average should fall (hopefully!)

2.270.  Not bad for somebody that can go for weeks at a time without posting anything at all.

1.17, which isn't too bad.
