657 same old thing...

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Hail and well met!

I, The (not so) great ASDR, is (not quite) quietly and (very much) arrogantly inquiring about the progress since it has been (VERY) quiet on all the forums.

Thank you.

He's averaged about 3.9 per day overall.  So, from that, I would estimate that there are 614 left.

That's probably not correct, of course, since task difficulties vary and it's not like this would go at a constant rate.

Incidently, my estimate would also suggest that there are 156 days, 10 hours, and 57 minutes left until Dwarf Fortress is completed.  Again, that's probably not a very accurate estimate.

Going by just the last two reports, we get the much better number of 6.53333333 per day.  From that, we would get 586 tasks left at the moment, and 88 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes and just over 11 seconds until Dwarf Fortress is completed.

But I could be off by a second or two, possibly.

"Off by a second or two"? Such carelessness cannot be allowed! GUARDS! Take this fool and throw him in the dungeon! Maybe a few weeks on the rack will teach him to be more exact!

[Toady One]

Actually, time is tight since I should be graduating in June, and there's a lot of paperwork and examinations and other things...

So the number stands at 657 and will for some time.

[Aquillion]

Hmm.  If we take the last two reports at this point, we get 0.000000 per day.  From that, we of course get 657 tasks left at the moment, and NAN days, NAN hours, NAN minutes, and just over NAN seconds until Dwarf Fortress is completed.  In fact, by extension, this means that if Toady is ever not working on Dwarf Fortress, even for a second, then it will never be completed.

On the other hand, if we go back and measure the number of tasks completed per second by only taking a second in which he completed a task, then we get a rate of 1 task per second, and Dwarf Fortress will be complete in 10 minutes and 57 seconds.

Maybe I should give up on the statistical analysis now.

[Toady One]

I guess if we average 10 minutes and NAN, we get...  NAN.  Stat is both useful and comforting.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

I think I'll settle with the 10 minutes and 57 seconds theory, mixed with a huge denial of it's not-completed status based on the "Toady just forgot to update the site" arguement.

Would you please be so kind to update the site so I can dl DF already?

[Silleh Boy]

has it been ten minutes and fiftey seven seconds yet?

how about now?

now?

what about now?

are these minutes and seconds defined in the traditional sense or are we working by Toady Seconds™ here?

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

hmmm...

dum-de-dum...

Tralala...

Now?

[Toady One]

All right.  I passed my test.  I'm a little burned out, and I have some talks coming up, but I can probably do some things again over the next few weeks.

[Silleh Boy]

You passed it?
Congratulations, Toady.

[Toady One]

The big one is on the 31st...  that should be it though, dammit.  Then I'll be Dr. Toad, and I can start plotting to destroy the world in earnest.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Well Congratulations. Once you set up your evil lair in some location, feel free to send me an mail and and airplane ticket, and you got yourself a minion.

Dibs on the top 31st bunk in the barracks!
