Number of bills at the end of the year.
Topic says it all.
I found the following on this forum.
13-02 10.000
04-03 20.000
22-03 30.000
11-05 100.000
03-07 200.000
So almost 200.000 bills in 6 months (but less then 2 months to do half of that. So with the current pace we'll have about half a million bills by the end of the year. Of course, as more users are joining we can have a lot more.
Any idea? Make your guess

Yes i like them. But i'm not gonna be the refree this time. But if someone really wants to make a contest of it there has to be a time limit. It will be much easier to guess in november comapred to now.HNL wrote:Hehe, you like "guess-topics" ?

But i don't think we'll be able to make 1.000.000 bills by then. I think we should be happy to have 750.000

Let's see. If this is a geometric series (this is mathematical slang), then if we analyse that in the last period we had 1886,8 notes per day, and this value rised in the sequence days:notessmh wrote: 13-02 10.000

19:10000 18:10000 50:70000 53:100000 182:???????
we have, as
1-jan-2003 is 182 days away from 3rd July, and
the next term in the series is 2310,9 as predicted by Excel,
hence,
we take the last term to get the total of 620580 notes at New Year's Eve.
With this scientific approach, I claim the first prize!
But remember, I used Microsoft software...

But I think you simplified it to much. There are some factors you have to take into account. You have to link it with the number of users at each point in time. And there’s also an important economic factor like the exchange rate between the Euro and the Dollar.
Therefore I think 539.417,5 bills at new year’s eve is a more realistic figure.
The half bill is because of a user who started entering a note at 23:59:57 who only finishes entering it at 00:00:03.

Re: Number of bills at the end of the year.
Nice guess, but unfortunately your estimate is a bit off, as the correct number of notes at the end of the year will be 594 573. I used the trustworthy Stetson & Sleeve method for determining the exact amount of notes.ag_pt wrote:the total of 620580 notes at New Year's Eve.

I'll make sure i've some notes left on dec. 31st to make sure your method is wrongavij wrote:Nice guess, but unfortunately your estimate is a bit off, as the correct number of notes at the end of the year will be 594 573.
