Ended Guess When BYC Will Hit 1.48 Million Threads!

[bgmathteach]

834

That was 135 new threads in 7 minutes short of 24 hours, based on your last post.

So....
834/135= 6.185185....

.185185 x24 (hours in a day) = 4 hours, ~26 minutes.

So we get ~6 days, 4 hours, 26 min.

Given you must pick a full hour, and 26 is < 30 , it is closer to 6 days, 4 hours than 6 days 5 hours.



HOWEVER: note that this is just a mathematical estimate, as thread creations, I am sure, are not linear, so this is JUST an estimate based on 'one point in time' data set.

I'm curious how you decided to move it forward 15 hours?

I should move mine back a tad....hmmmmm, will I bother???

 

[bgmathteach]

Yes, I am bothering;
I would like to change my guess to 2/17/2023 9:00 pm

Thank you!

It is appropriate to keep this type of information private until after guessing has ended.

Lately there have been a lot of new threads deleted because they were created by spammers.

I've also seen, in the past, some folks who post a whole bunch of nonsense posts or threads to bump the numbers closer to their set date and time. It almost makes me NOT want to participate in these contests.
