Here's my update too

6513 : 7 = 930 bills/hit

I hope it's not going down but I'm afraid it is. I've been too lucky.


640:4= 160 notes/hit
Going down

Update 814:4~204/hit



But perhaps tomorrow I can show a little bit happier face............

3323/1 I'am sad.

With 4 hits after just 814 notes you should have one of the happiest faces around!!
Some of us have to enter thousands of notes before they get their first one...

3304:3= 1101

3754 / 8 = 469

2111/0= error....

Recently I had a discussion with a very nice Turkish gentleman who explained to me that you cán in fact divide by zero. The fact that pocket calculators and computers aren't able to comprehend only proves that the human brain is much more sophisticated.

I'll try to reproduce his story:
What happens when you divide 100 by 10? You get 10.
What happens when you divide 100 by 1? You get 100.
What happens when you divide 100 by 0,1? You get 1.000.
What happens when you divide 100 by 0,01? You get 10.000.

So the smaller the numer you divide by, the larger the result.
"the smaller the number" can be replaced by: closer to zero. So when your divider is infinitely small, the result will be infinitely large and dividing by zero itself would result in infinity.

So nodisch18, your hit-ratio is 2111/0=infinity
(not that I think that's going to cheer you up...)

I don't think that that turkish gentleman is right.

Try to say the see it this way:

When you have a number (in this case the amount of notes) and you are going to divide it (in
hits) you are going to try to give each hit its own fare portion of notes. Since there are no hits to give each their fare portion of notes. It is impossible to divide the amount of bills.

But infinity is not a number, and not even a result that is good for any further (mathematical) use:

Suppose infinity:= 1/0 were a number. Then we have
0 * infty = 0 * (1/0) = 1
hence
1 = 0 * infty = (0 + 0) * infty = 0*infty + 0*infty = 1 + 1 = 2.

But, believe me, not even mathematicians can give any sort of sense to the equation 1=2. (Also they are able to give a reasonable interpretation of +1=-1, which is perfectly true in a field with characteristic 2.)

9372 bills and 6 hit...

hit ratio : 1562....

Just joking but of course when you get 4 hits with 400 notes and after that you enter another 400 notes and don't get hits at all you start looking unhappy. You are absolutely right that I'm still one of the luckiest persons. But when you get a lot with small amount you start expecting allways more and more. I think that is just the way human mind works.

But hits or no, I'll keep entering notes. This is one of the best hobbies I know.

Dividing by 0 is impossible, because the answer can be +infinity or -infinity.
That depends on from which side you approach 0: from the positive side
the answer is +infinity, an from the negative side it is -infinity. Try to draw
the graph of y = 1/x.

2463/1= .....

my other hit is with Olivier (our Webbie): he knew the money was coming. So that one doesn't really count

I guess the average is about 1 hit / 1000 entered bills.
I was lucky, I had a hit after entering about 400 bills.
