Hey, DF has a lot of maths majors. Can you double-check my maths here?

I'm going to make a lot of quite possibly unjustified assumptions here.

First, I'll assume that I still know how to do math after a long summer.

Second, I'll assume that the ten-minute stats that my Steamstats thing just spat out is a completely average sample of how many items the populace earns over time.

So, Steamstats says there were 3 hats in the last ten minutes, with about 11k users logged onto the idling server.

Extrapolate: Six times as many hats in six times as much time. Eighteen hats an hour.

Divide eighteen hats by eleven thousand idlers to find that your odds are .001636363636repeating.

Multiple that by 100 and then round to get a percent:

.16

Divide 100 by .16 to see how many 1-hour intervals will be necessary for the average player to get a hat.

Result: 625.

Divide by 24 to get the number of days of nonstop idling required for the average player to recieve a hat.

Result: 26.0416666repeating

Conclusion:

If I know math, and if that 10 minute sample was average, most people will recieve a hat after playing tf2 nonstop for about a month. Obviously, though, there will be variation; some people will recieve their hats as a complimentary gift upon logging in, and others will have to play nonstop for nineteen months. But on average.

625 seems kinda... large. How many people play TF2 for 625 hours? I know I got my hat after about two hours, with about ten hours total playtime (my computer sucks too much for it to be worth it). Of course, I really wanted a WEAPON, not a hat, so Murphy's Law may be in effect.

[KaelGotDwarves]

I've got almost ALL the weapons and not a single hat.

I'm only missing Bonk, and I really want it too.

I won't even get into how many backburners I have. >.>

[Pandarsenic]

I decided to start collecting FaNs and Kritzkriegs.

[KaelGotDwarves]

The sad thing is I don't even USE backburners, because the airblast is too useful.

I do have a level 100 axetinguisher that I'm proud of though

1. Set aflame
2. airblast disorientate them
3. go mad axeman on their ass
4.
5. MHMPHMRPHMMMMMMMPGH! <3

I love pyro, as if you couldn't tell from my hobby/icon.

[The Doctor]

May I borrow your earpiece?

"This is scout! Rainbows make me cry!"

Haha...


Spy cracks me up, but I have grown to love the speedy "Run in, shoot 6 times, and run out" about a scatterscoot.




I killed like 5 medics in one match who had an uber by running in, weaving around the fatman, and shooting that bloody kraut. Never could have done that as spy, because the medics are usually smart and run around, dodging and doing a jig or something.
