Title: The million push-up game.
Post by: Ten60 on May 19, 2012, 08:41:01 AM
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, the avatar is just a pointer.. no biggie.  My initial post was to ridicule the concept of simply starting a thread for the purpose of people adding 1 to a number until it reaches a million.  'pushing up' a post count. That, to me, sounds insanely silly and a waste of resources.. hence my response.

Now that I understand you're referring to people actually doing push-ups and then adding their tally to a running total, I must formally apologize for my initial misunderstanding.    This does sound like fun, and, like I said, as I regain feelings in my arms, I'll add more.

Funny, I don't remember the ground being so far away in the past....

I just couldn't keep from doing this. Hell i have to every morning and night, might as well add some.  ;)

359 + 200 = 509

They don't have to be consecutive, do they?

No. If you did 20 over the course of the day then credit 20. They don't have to be done all at once, but they do have I be done!
