Shite!!!

I think I did that wrong. I was lay in bed just thinking. I took the difference instead of a ratio.
I will calculate again.

My calculator just died.

Ok, what I got before my calculator died was,

We will both have 20654.54545 posts on the same day.

I need a new calculator.

I took a ratio of 1.22 : 1

So what a hundred years time?

Runtu needs 16110.54545 more posts and I need 19568.54545 more posts. So devide this by the rate.

16110.54545/10.14 = 1588.81
19568.54545/12.34 = 1585.78

Hmm... it appears there is 3.03 days difference. Crud. Ok. It will take Runtu 3.03 days more than I to get to that value. So we can conclude that we get to the same value somewhere before 1588.81 days time and after 1585.78 days time. Can I have an error?

By error we will both equalise in 1587.295 +/- 1.525 days time. Which would be,

The date and time at the moment is Tuesday 29th January 2008 at 02:25 am.

Ok got it.

June the 3rd 2012 at 10:13am +/- 1 day 12 hours 36 mins

So between June 1st 2012 at 21:37 pm and June 4th 2012 at 22.49 pm

Edited to add, 2012 is a leap year so take a day off each to get:

So between May 31st 2012 at 21:37 pm and June 3th 2012 at 22.49 pm

I think we would need asbestosman to check you work, but either way, I salute you on your calculations.

Thank you.

I got:

4583 + 10.16 * X (Runtu's current posts + his post-rate * X days)
1119 + 12.57 * x (Pirate's current posts + her post-rate * X days)

3464 = 2.41 * x
x = 1437.344 days

posts = 19186.419

1437.344 days = 3.937 years.

Using a simple javascript program to keep track of dates and time gives:

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>
<script>
var today = new Date();
var todaymiliseconds = today.getTime();
var targetdays = 1437.344;
var targetmiliseconds = targetdays * 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000;
var targetdate = new Date ( todaymiliseconds + targetmiliseconds);
alert(targetdate);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Oh man. I was close though. I am just having breakfast before I go catch the bus. It's the first healthy breakfast I have actually sat down to in ages, and it's SO good.

Oh wait, I might have been right as you took different values.
