Another Game: Guess the Attendance at Auburn

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
  • The Tennessee state government copied that one from their counterparts in Alabama. What do get when 32 people from Alabama gather in the same room? A full set of teeth. How does Tennesse control their birth rate? Outlaw family reunions.
  • Did you hear the news out of the alabama state capitol, montgomery? The governor signed into law the farm animal equality act. This gives men of alabama the right to marry their farm animals. Pigs, sheep, cows, chickens and men were seen dancing in fields throughout the state as news broke. Difference between an Alabama farmer and Tennesse farmer... Alabama farmer raises livestock... Tennesse farmer gets emotionally involved.
  • Is that what you call women in alabama these days? The Tennesse courtroom defense... "Honest your Honor, I was just trying to help the sheep over the fence."

    If Wookiee shaves then we can safely round it down to 44238. I hope there's enough parking :cane: Wookiee won't be there. There is enough parking. Auburn is in the middle of a cow pasture. People will need to watch where they step after getting out of their cars though. 775
  • 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: You forgot CLNaO (sodium Hypoclorite, bleech), it has molecular weight of 74.44. So 44238.21 ÷ 74.44 = 794.28

    pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/.../Ukraine horse & wagon.jpg You can tell that peter has lived in alabama for a long time. Living in alabama, spelling isn't a required course in school anymore. Let's try this together, ready? W O O K I E E(there's 2 of them)
  • Winning a beer from Elaine is worth its weight in gold :smooch: Thanks, That Guy! Just for that, you get a beer when you finally do go to Nationals, in Nebraska! While I'm at it, you get the award for the most creative (if faaaaar from accurate) calculated guess for the attendance. :applaud: 942 And, Peter, yours was definitely the most colorful! :applaud:
  • :lmao: This goes to Peter, Wookiee, and knelson for the funniest :hijack: I have ever seen on the forums. Thanks for the laughs, guys! :applaud:

    Am I really getting lectured by a hairy redneck from Tennessee (second 'e' ommitted on purpose) on how to spell? Yes. What do a Divorce in Alabama, a Tornado in Kansas and a Hurricane in Florida have in common? Somebody's fixin' to lose them a house trailer

    Speaking of divorce... new law in Tennesse... when two people get divorced, they are still legally brother and sister. Do these need to stay clean? The Tennessee state government copied that one from their counterparts in Alabama. What do get when 32 people from Alabama gather in the same room? A full set of teeth.
