Count Down from 30k

Featured Replies

Nah, that's too much effort.

Not really... with this post, it's...

 

30,000 - 2675 (the post count to the thread before this post) = 27,325

 

...and shows you how extremely simple the above formula...

30,000 - 'current post count' = 'number for you to post'

...happens to be, especially since there's no "Post Zero" in existence. :thumbsup:

  • 28,085.   Man, sometimes my brain is terrible, okay, countdown, so, subtract one. Okay... Subtract... One... That's... Um... Oh yeah! Come on brain, it ain't hard.

But does that account for the double posts/wrong number posts given? If so that would artificially inflate the post count and in return lowering the number we have to post?

But does that account for the double posts/wrong number posts given? If so that would artificially inflate the post count and in return lowering the number we have to post?

The formula I've stated above does account for the double/wrong number posts. It has the effect of purging them and denies them the damage they would have done to the sequence, placing us back on track with the total actual posts in the thread. The original intent in this thread was always to just be one after the other without losing track of position, resulting in the 30,001st post being the actual "who won", as it all comes down to strategy and/or timing. We could have tried not resyncing using true post count after those disrupting posts, but then the count would take a lot longer to actually count down and inflate the total posts to the thread far too extremely. Given the total posts so far to this thread, can you imagine how many additional years it would take to finish the game? I think we happened to be theorizing that it would be sometime near 2020 already? I'll admit, it does push along the position at the point of correction, possibly decreasing the number that you'll actually post by a little bit. However, I think we're looking at "lesser of two evils" here, seeing as the count is usually corrected very quickly. :(

Ah, I see. I just wasn't thinking in the right frame of mind.

I'm sorry Devnull but your formula doesn't work. If I do 30K-This Post's number I get a number that's one number too small. So yeah, I'm just gonna stick with just using a number one lower than previous post.

You're not supposed to use the number of the post (or it's position, for that matter) that you're posting. You're supposed to use the total/current position of the number of posts prior to yours. I'm pretty sure I said that before. Yeah, I did, so read these two posts for reference...
