OK, Forumites, today's the last day to sign up for Nationals at Auburn. This isn't much of a game, but it's a forum tradition. So, how many swimmers will be signed up to swim at Auburn? Winner gets a round of :applaud: and a :wine: . Hey, if you find me at Nationals and introduce yourself as the winner, I'll even buy you a :chug: on Saturday, after the conclusion of the meet! :D
Good luck!
:cheerleader:
I'll start it off with: 888
This time I've devised a very scientific method for figuring this out. Swimming takes place in water, which consists of H2O. So that's two hydrogen atoms @ 1.00794 atomic weight each and one oxygen atom @ 15.9994 atomic weight. Winning a beer from Elaine is worth its weight in gold (each gold atom 196.9666 atomic weight, and don't forget the golden ratio of 1.618034). And this whole exercise clearly wouldn't make any sense if we didn't include pi (3.14159) and e (2.718282). Multiply all those numbers together (and remember to include hydrogen twice!) and you get 44238.21 swimmers. Nearly everyone in USMS! If Wookiee shaves then we can safely round it down to 44238. I hope there's enough parking :cane:
