The million push-up game.

[Ten60]

I saw this done on a smaller BBS and was very curious just how many we could collectively do.  This is a running total type thing where you take the number from the last post and add yours to it.  I think we could get to a million as a collective group.  So do as many as you can and the credit it here.  I'll start...

0+20=20.

NOW GO!

+1

20+1=21

So you want 999,978 additional posts to increment the number to a million?

At 1kb space per post, you want to tie up a GB of space.. just to see if we can count to a million?

Um.. naw.. I think I'll pass.

Have fun.

Drone stop wasting bandwidth and get to pushin!!!!

30+21=51

[APDrone]

Pftt..

Well, ok..     So as to be the responsible webizen..

999,948 + 51 = 999,999

I'll let somebody else have the last word.

Your post was 223 bytes.  A post containing "123,456+100=123,556" is 19 bytes.  Am I the only one who finds his post ironic?  Not to mention it would probably only take about 50,000 posts.  Most people can do more that 1 push-up.  Not that there's anything wrong with doing one lol.

I was basing the 1k on the size that Gyrene's post occupied when saved as a notepad doc..   

I just realized I didn't factor in the avatar... which is 4k by itself.. so 1GB is far less than the actual space would be..

I thought you actually meant "do pushups". I could do 100 in my day and could probably manage one now if there was a plate of ribs on the floor under my face.

If they don't have to be done in one attempt I'll toss in 45.

96

Nope.  Its a cumulative.  I did 20 this morning and I plan ondoing 20 more tonight.  When I do I'll add it onto the total.

[APDrone]

What? So these are REAL pushups??

That changes things a bit..

<edit>
Ok.. I'll toss in 12 legitimate ones.

More when my arms start working again.

um..   96+12=108

To be entirely accurate, the way that BBS's are set up it doesn't save the entire post that you see.  It essentially only saves the message content and a few other linking numbers.  I doesn't save the avatar each time a post is made.  It's complicated to explain but the CMS, but even if this thread reaches 50,000 posts it won't be that big.

OK.   999,999 - 999,948 = 51

2+5+61+9+999+6+....BINGO!
