− | + | **The year of the meme plus number of years in the distance in light year to the star should end up close to 2013. | |
− | + | **As can be seen in the sum column most of the time this ends up within the range 2011-2013 with a few at 2014. | |
− | + | ***There is only a single outlier, 2016, which could be an error from Randall? | |
− | + | ***An error could both be in the distance to the star or in the year when the meme actually became popular here on Earth | |
+ | ***There could also be a possible delay from the star system receiving the meme until is becomes popular there. | ||
