The ratio of view to posts is approximately 250 to 1
Quoting: Anonymous Astrophysicist 1104458 Views = 259,593 Replies = 9,707 In the alternate universe that the Incredible Dim Wits inhabits 259593/9707 = ~250, not ~27 as we dwellers in this universe would think. Off by a factor of 10. About par for the course for IDW. Now, explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes. ... and how photons are just really, really fast electrons. <snicker> R. Quoting: Reality420 23400173 You've calculated the wrong way round, it should be 9707/259593 as the ratio is replies per views the replies figure should be first. At a ratio of 1 reply to 250 views the number of views would be 2,426,750. (9707 x 250). Quoting: Elemental My error didn't occur that way but I can see how you came to that conclusion. Somehow i entered the wrong number of views or responses into my calculator, either adding a decimal place inadvertently in the in the number of views or leaving one out of the number of responses I used the same method as you , I recall, so that is the only explanation for being off my a decimal place.. This is why one should always double check and triple check his work when using calculators, and they in my experience tend to frequently result in these kinds of mistakes when using scientific notation. It wasn't really that important to the subject matter of the thread and and again, I admit error. of I didn't make errors I would be "god", a claim I don't recall making, but it should be kept in mind the more you do the more likely you will make a mistake.
