Then we are 10.000. When will this happen? Any guesses? My guess is 20th of July, this year. That would be according to linear progression from Yves to Ajay Kumar.

[edit]
From Vanneto to Ajay it would give 22nd of July.

My choice: the 10,000th member will join between 10:00 and 12:00 GMT on 20 July 2008.

Do you think we should organize a betting-pool where we get to guess the date of #10000. What would the prize be?

My guess is 1st August 2008

Erm, wouldn't that be the date when we reach i members?

No. We reach i members on December 16, 2257.

P.S. Typing i, including the tags, feels really weird.

You silly people talking about i as though it were a tangible number .... as if it were real.

$<math>i = \sqrt{\frac{memberSize^2}{memberRate * \sqrt{lulz} / 2} * \frac{lolcatNumber - \sqrt{harryCarryAge} - sarcasmCount}{amountOfSpam / sizeOfInterwebz}}</math>$

That should give us the date needed. Of course, there is an error margin of about:

$<math>error \pm 1.531 days</math>$

We could use Vann Vannerhouers method of prediction, which is:

$<math>a * b + \sqrt{c ^ d} = 0</math>$

This should give sufficient amount of space-time curvature to predict the time needed for enough energy to accumulate to create sufficient members in due time.

So, if we use Vannerhouers law of predicting atom movement in the II. order of the linear space frequency flux, we can predict that the date will be precisely:

22. June, 2008 @ 18:55:12 +- 0.5 seconds

8-)

But yeah, I guess Harry's method works a little better, as you do not have to complicate things like I did.

Vanneto said:

Invalid Formula

Nice
Edit: quoted because I'm sure he'll fix it before I post this edit line.

To make this post worthwhile, I have simplified Vanneto's formula for i. It is my theory that lulz=-1, and everything else reduces to -1.

$<math>i = \frac{2\cdot memberSize^2\cdot sizeOfIterwebz(lolcatNumber-\sqrt{harryCarryAge}-sarcasmCount)} {memberRate\cdot amountOfSpam\sqrt{lulz}}</math>$

Edit: Egad, stop changing it.

If the prize were worth more than a free copy of Allegro, there'd be mini-campaigns to actively recruit more members so as to win.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

Matthew's kept quiet on this, I wonder if there's a 5 digit bug in his forum code

Matthew could make the member numbers invisible until the 10000th member.

The prize shall be an arranged marriage between the closest guesser and the 10,000th member. In the event that would cause a gay marriage, polygamy, or polyandry, the involved parties must as necessary convert to Mormonism and relocate to ensure the morality and legality of the new holy matrimony.
