Revision as of 11:07, 14 September 2015
16800 squares counted, corresponding to a projected lifespan of 46 years. 108.162.225.124 04:09, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
This description says "64 small drawers" but each of the small drawer sets contains 70. 7 columns, 10 rows. (Then there are 20 columns of drawer sets, and 12 rows.) 199.27.133.115 04:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Same counting here, I changed the description. 199.27.133.160 05:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Use × not x. (Editing with this phone is really hard.) 173.245.55.171 05:13, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
I corrected the number of drawers ((70×12×20)÷365.25≈50) then used that calculation to work out Cueball's approximate age. 141.101.98.185 06:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Reminds me on the Life calender from this Wait but why post Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 07:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
There is a (common) mistake in the life expectancy calculation in the description. If the life expectancy in the US is 75.9, then that doesn't mean you expected remaining life at 25 will be 50.9 years - otherwise that would imply no-one dies under 25. Since, sadly, many people do die before their 25th birthday, the life expectancy remaining at 25 will be somewhat larger than 50 years. As these tables show: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html 50 years remaining corresponds roughly to an age of 27-28. In other words your remaining life expectancy drops by less than one year per year, if no new information is presented (i.e. assuming you don't take up smoking etc.) 141.101.98.205 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
