Math Wizards That Crunched The Numbers Extra Hard


And people out there said that math doesn't have any real world applications. It's fun to see just how strange things can turn out when one crunches the numbers on various real world instances that quite simply were never intended to be meticulously deconstructed. If you enjoy these, check out the time that a Tumblr user crunched the numbers to determine the exact date of Ice Cube's, "Good Day."

Text - Perkele!! There are allegedly around 6.5 million Finns, right? That's out of a 7.125 billion humans. That means Finns make up .0912% of the planet. That's not 9%-that's point zero nine percent, less than a percent, less than a tenth of a percent. To put that another way, 99.9% of the planet are not Finns. How do we know this? Government censuses. Now, the best government censuses have a margin of error of at least 1%. So Finns make up .0912% of the planet, plus or minus one percent. In co

Since you're averaging 200 feet of film per pound, and 12.5 feet per ounce we are going to need 25 feet of additional film. At roughly 50 feet of film per minute, 20

Text - belleandkurtbastian Each extra wing adds between 1.10 and 1.15 to the cost... except: • the 25th wing only adds 0.55 • wings 46 to 50 add an average of 1.02 each • wings 71 to 75 add an average of 1.03 each • wings 91 to 100 add an average of 1.08 each. The cheapest overall cost per wing is 1.112, which can be obtained from buying 25, 50, or 125 wings. The most expensive overall cost per wing is 1.14, which can be obtained from buying 5 wings.

Text - | Swimming in PUBG is faster than Michael Phelps com/UoS883... C 9:31 1 Andrew I got both of them, sorry I didn't make it to get you though. That's okay now I don't have to swim across that massive river before the circle closes I think I can make it, still some time. I wonder how fast he swims Idk Okay so I just measured it and it took you 35 seconds to go one white square in the water, each square is 100m so at 100m/35s we get 2.86m/s. For reference, Michael Phelps usually maxes out at

Text - considering that it was posted on Reddit and Facebook from posts like Taylor's here. In online advertising, the cost per 1,000 impressions (CPM) costs around $5-$9, so let's call it 7 dollars for 1,000 impressions. 8.1 million is equal to 1000 x 8, 100 and 8, 100 x $7 is $56,700. So for about seven bucks and an hour of this guy's time, he delivered $57k worth of fuck you to the AT&T at the Auburn Outlet Mall, and that's a low estimate. That's a pretty damn good return on investment l'd sa
