how long will lets count to a million take

[simon.]

I estimate that lets count to a million will take 45419 days or 124 years. this means that edgegamers will finally die in the year 2146 because we will finally make it to a million or the world will die who knows.

At that time, my age will be 184 and I plan to spearhead an effort to count backwards from one million.

i wonder what wee would be at if the thread was made in 2008

 

[BloK]

1 million hours

okay let's assume that somehow in order to count to a million by the time EdgeGamers isn't a thing anymore there is a chance we can make it.
(This analysis was based of me counting and seeing common intervals between current countings.)

- Analysis

So let's say on average it takes about 10 minutes for someone to continue a number, and at the time this was written the current number is at 29K (29,000) so assuming each 10 minutes a person counts a digit up, it would take about 100 hours to be able to reach the next milestone 30k, which means the rate of progress is relatively slow, meaning if this rate were to keep happening, it would roughly take us more than 100M (One Hundred Million) hours which is roughly 11,415.525 years, so realistically it isn't possible at all. BUT what if we consistently keep counting per say each 12 seconds (reasoning why it's 12 seconds and not each second is because there is a short delay between when you can MAKE a reply on a thread which is I assume 10 seconds) and since assuming if we took 2 seconds to write the number down, and we post it, and then synchronically the other person says the number a bit after it would be INSANELY quicker to the rate we already have. Let's assume the same numbers ~ 29K is the current milestone right now at the time of writing this, if we were to make it to the next milestone from 29K - 30K with the said 12 seconds each, it would take only 1:20 HOURS to be able to reach the next milestone, or in the range of that timespan. And to be able to reach a Million using automated timings or if timed perfectly, it would take about 9.513 years to be able to reach a Million!

- Conclusion

But aln, who would want to do all this work with perfectly made time posts? Well I don't know lol, it's only a matter of time if someone steps up and makes some type of program if EdgeGamers allows it, to be some what automated so we could reach a Million, but conclusion is that it is Mathematically IMPOSSIBLE humanly to reach a Million by the time the world ends and at rates we are at right now, Estimations of when the time will come where EdgeGamers will finally end at a number will most PROBABLY be at the range of 100-250k max.
(And at this point it's just a place to gather reaction score )

Artimus permission to make automated counting a million bots?! (Satire)

And blank_dvth you count to a million a bunch, would you like to possibly correct my maths? ;P and make more accurate predictions ​

Sounds about right, impossible to take into account LifeTM, and other variables but looks good. Making a bot that automatically counts to a million ruins the fun though (believe me, I've thought about it before).

If only more of you would look at my SIG!

 

[Crazy]

I formally accuse blank_dvth of using a macro to count to a million.
Why?
Programmers. They all sus.

There's 29k replies and 355k views, haha.

Idk let’s count

I'm honestly surprised we haven't hit 1 million yet, given:

Well get in there!!

 

[Hotdog96]

prolly like a cuppa weeks

prolly like a cuppa weeks

sounds about right

See how poor people live ? Counting every dollar like a post to a million.
Don’t forget how big 1 million really is
