ever noticed how the rate of postings to views on each thread is almost always around 1 in 10?

just an observation.

yes it's been a quiet day......

[McJim]

How many postings are you expecting on this thread?

[marty]

at the moment it's 1 for 1....

not many :)

but it did only take you 3 minutes

[Blackbird]

The number of posts before it goes off topic would be interesting too. :yes:

[mstriumph]

does anyone else here think it's odd that there's only one monopolies commission? :wait:

[kiwifruit]

Yeah, im one of the ones that usually views but doesnt post :)

[GR81]

fascinating even...

[The_Dover]

Yeah, I'm with kiwifruit.

I'm a voyeur.

Bugger, I'm the other way round I post then read the thread - I've got foot in mouth disease, I open my mouth and put my foot right in it.

I'm currently trying to work out how to post on this thread multiple times with only one view ....interesting.

[kiwifruit]

I feel i must post again as here i am viewing again

Yeah dat's der bunny.

This is a handy thread too coz I only need 10 more posts to be a senior member and can see who gave me that anonymous red bling a couple of weeks ago.

It is my duty I feel to ensure this thread does not follow the 10% trend...

I spent the first 140 days lurking.. should be sweet in a few minutes..

Because thats how many threads we can read to one can of beer. :drinkup:

[mstriumph]

so who's buying?

whose round is it?

[gijoe1313]

Goodness gracious me...it must be a Friday and no-ones out riding their bike? Nothing better to do then fart around on a forum formulating finagles of finesse to find funny formats? Oi vey! :spudflip:

[far queue]

Was just lurking, but feel obliged to post :doobey:

[Skunk]

Hasn't this been covered before? Or am I just posting because I viewed it?

[ktulu]

Am I awesome? I think I may have answered that....

(lurked so I posted, have lurked a lot lately)

This has been observed before. And will, no doubt, be again. While you're figuring it out, reflect on why Tiger Woods' (indeed, strangely, all other golfers as well) second-to-last putts never go in the hole.

[Virago]

If it's okay with you, I'll just read without posting........:doobey:

[wysper]

this is almost the perfect thread for a friday bikeless night.
By the way .. did anyone see the moon tonight.

Awesome!

are we still on topic?

[marty]

the moon has been awesome the last few nights - it is HUGE atm

[Patch]

not sure he was meaning that moon :blip:

[wysper]

the gravitational pull of the moon has been strong enough to pull time arwy. Patch, according to my comp clock you have posted 3 after the time is now... oooooo scary

[marty]

it'll be making inline4 busy this week

[Colapop]

is this still a lurkers thread? Or has it become a stalkers thread?

[marty]

or how always find something in the last place you'd think to look?

[wysper]

it is still only just above the magical 10% theory hypothesised by our esteemed marty

[McJim]

or how always find something in the last place you'd think to look?
Coz once you'd found it you'd stop thinking of places to look - if it wasn't in the last place you'd think to look then that place wouldn't be the last place you'd think to look....ouch....sore head.

[Virago]

Ah, but the trick is to look in the last place first.......








Why is this thread not in PD yet?

[wysper]

but if you do that then you don't get the fun of looking and the FINDING

[Rossi Gal]

Awesome!



Wasnt it just!!!! it looked like a huge golden ball. was very impressive!!

[Rossi Gal]

but if you do that then you don't get the fun of looking and the FINDING


Ahhhh... so very true indeed!!!

[Colapop]

And still this hasn't made it to PD!!??!!

[MattRSK]

Avi: Should I call you Bullet? Tooth?
Bullet Tooth Tony: You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.

Obviously the "powers that be" realise how important this thread is.

T While you're figuring it out, reflect on why Tiger Woods' (indeed, strangely, all other golfers as well) second-to-last putts never go in the hole.

Pondered and postulated. It's because this is the penultimate putt. It arises because of a little known law of physics from a quantum fluctuation during Planck Time. I suspect that Schrodinger's cat influences the track of the golf ball.

:blip:

Yes, that was the origional theory, but in reality the answer is much simpler, and it is a mathematical answer. It is possible for a golfer to sink the penultimate putt, but it rarely happens.

The number of putts required by any golfer to complete a game is given by the number n where n = f(hc). (remember Drive for show, Putt for dough).

Thus the number of putts is predertimed. Every golfer tries to beat this formula, but none succeed. They all try to make the penultimate putt the final putt, but to be successful they would have to make the putt before the penultimate putt also be the penultimate putt, or:

n - 2 = n - 1
This simplifies to:
-2 = -1
adding 2 to BS gives
0 = 1
This is possible
as 0 raised to any power = 0
but
n raised to the power of 0 = 1
so if n = 0
then 0 to the power of 0 = 0 and also = 1.

Thus a golfer can sink the penultimate putt only when the total number of putts is n = 1, and he plays every hole without having to putt once.

[wysper]

ahh close.. but I see your problem

in the step where you added 2 you should of infact multiplied by -1
this gives you the following

2 = 1

subtracting one from each side gives you

1 = 0

while this looks the same, it is infact quite different

1 putt = 0 putts

so simply put, the putt never exsisted

which is why you cant sink the penultimate putt

quite obivious when you think about it really isnt it.

[Winston001]

Fascinating chaps. Could you provide a proof please? I think you've left out the Hubble Constant but not sure where.

Perhaps the second-last putt itself doesn't exist? Thus penultimate putt = 0 so therefore it couldn't possibly place the ball in the hole.

Heady stuff for a Saturday night.

my head hurts......to much thinking...
