A mathematics question
by jsbjsb001 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EF6D)
I was trying to think of how I would calculate how long it would take me to get to 5000 posts based on how long I've been a member here and how many posts I've already made/make on average. But I really have no idea how I would work that out, but figure there must be a way, even if it's not 100% exact.
I should say that mathematics just isn't my strong suit, so please be clear in any answers given.
In any case, I'd like to know the calculation I'd have to make to work it out, not be given a time of how long it would take me to reach 5000 posts based on my current posting rate - I want to work out the answer myself, but I need some help to know how I figure it out. I'm not looking for any debates on the "best way" to do it; I'd just like to know a way(s) to calculate the answer.
According to vBulletin my "Posts Per Day" average is 0.86, if that's important to how I figure out the answer to my question (I think I know how it's calculates that for the record).
Thanks for any help on this.
