-:Randall is actually correct here. sleep time = 24 hours - other time - photo taking time - photo sorting time, which rearranges to: sorting time = C - taking time, i.e. the negatively sloped line you see on the graph (since we're not given the axes scales).

Or put it another way, let's say you need 8 hours of sleep. Then if you extend the top-right line all the way to both axes, the top-left corner would be (0, 16), the bottom-right corner (16, 0), and the midpoint (8, 8).

 Taking photos uses up time in the day, therefore as you take more and more photos per day you naturally have less time left over to sort the photos [[Special:Contributions/162.158.89.229|162.158.89.229]] 08:19, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

	This comic is in direct contrast to the days of past when cameras used film, and people viewed pictures behind sticky plastic in photo albums.

These days, of course, you take as many pictures as your phone will hold, then... well, view comic above ;)		This comic is in direct contrast to the days of past when cameras used film, and people viewed pictures behind sticky plastic in photo albums.

	:I've recently sorted through a box of pictures from my wife's high school days that conflicts with this. Just the media and delay were different. If you had as much film as you wanted, or about 200 of those disposable cameras (and enough money to buy that), you can generate enough pictures to make it time-prohibitive to sort.
