About three weeks.
And at 2248 and 12.26 posts per day, how long until you pass Bruce? 2 more per day and a deficit of about 3400 to make up, 1700 days or about 5 years. |

Ummm if you can't do this math yourself, remind me not to let you run the numbers on any car loans for me!

i COULD do the math myself...and probably in my head if i wanted to, I just thought it might be fun for some of you math geeks....i was expecting someone to give me the exact time on a certain date.....
And I agree, bruce, quality not quantity....I was just making an observation. Griff.....you're an odd dude.

The difference in posting rates was 5.43/day.
The difference in posts was 183. Assuming the rates stay the same (very unlikely) and that posts are presented in fractional parts on a per-second basis (also unlikely), it will be 33.70165746 days; 808.839779 hours; 48530.38674 minutes; 2911823.204 seconds. For the ease of calculation, 11:05 = 665/1440ths of a day, or .4618055556 There are 30 days in April. Given the time of day that LJ recorded his values and the fractional day-part required for the posts to synch, it will be in the 34th day that they meet. 8+34 = 42, 42 - 30 = 12th of May (a Wednesday). This still leaves us with 33.70165746 + .4618055556 - 34, or .16346302 days. 0.16346302 days = 3 hours, 55 minutes, 23.2 seconds. So, all things being perfect, the post counts will be equal at 3:55.23 on May 12th. |

I took the liberty of calculating the total number of posts to date (89,075 at the time I started this post) and the age of the Cellar (current incarnation) in days (approx. 1,177) and determined an average collective posting rate of 75.67 posts per day. This is far higher than any of the rates mentioned.
The reason I did this was to reassure myself that we were not in danger of having any one person amass more postings than everybody else put together!
