Why is everyone being so picky? First my math, then my spelling [:/]

How many coconuts did they start with? :)



I'm wondering why no one has picked on you yet for the strange behaviour of monitoring the posting habits of others. Is this an interesing hobby that you enjoy often or just a one time thing? ;)

So there is this little kid that has never spoken,not a word.One day at the dinner table,he is about 10 yrs old,he pipes up and says,"These peas suck." Of course everyone in the family makes a big deal about him speaking and no one really paid any attention to what he said.Someone finally asks him why he has never spoken up to this point in time.To which the kid replys,"Everything has been OK up to now."

Anyone with more posts than jumps is suspect anyway. But I'll let you off if you tell me how many coconuts the pirate started of with. ;):)



Is this what you're refering to:

5 sailors are shipwrecked on a deserted island. All they have to eat are coconuts, and they decide to divide them evenly tomorrow. They pile up all the coconuts in one big pile to sit overnight. That night, the first sailor wakes up and decides to take his share. He divides the coconuts into 5 equal piles, and has one left over which he throws to the monkey. He hides his pile, and puts back together the remaining 4 piles. Later that night, the second sailor wakes, makes 5 piles, again has one left over for the monkey and again hides his 'share'. In the course of the night each of the 5 sailors does this. So each has hidden some coconuts and the monkey has hidden five. The next morning, they divide the non-hidden coconuts into 5 piles but this time there are no extras for the monkey. How many coconuts were there?

We need a D.S.R. statistic to be displayed in skykdiver profiles. D.S.R. = Doomed Skydiver Ratio. The mathematic formula would probably be:

Doomed Skydiver Ratio = (Posts x WingLoad x 100) / (Jumps²)

This means people with more posts or a higher wingload gets a higher ratio, but that increasing number of jumps lowers this ratio nicely. Very simple.

Could work. But. Mind you, I have more posts than jumps, so I may be at a disadvantage. But then again, so are wonderful skydivers like airtwardo, who probably wouldn't appreciate it ;)

I wasnt taught that in AFF , did my instructor screw up when he told me skydiving is about fun and education? He never once informed me that the validity of my exsistence in this sport depends on my ratio of posts to jumps [:/]

Apparently to some people believe so or there wouldn't be comments made about people's post numbers being higher than their jump numbers... Although I don't see where the number of jumps a person has would have anything to do with voicing thier thoughts and opinions...

8 jumps. 577 posts. I think you need to shut the hell up for a little while.:|



I think you need to do a few things too but I won't stoop to your level....
dz.com may be a skydiving website but the Bonfire was set aside for NON skydiving related issues yet still a person is judged on their jump numbers... I think I'm done posting here

Yes. Percentage of posts in Bonfire and Speaker Corner, along with 1.21 gigawatts, needs to be factored in the Doomed Skydiver Ratio.



DUDE.. that is just wrong... you would upset the whole balance of the right wing continuum.


Number of posts in SC by the Ultra Right Handies....HEAVY.:D
