Stats!!! xP

Have you ever thought 5000 is a big number..? Well, it kinda is. I mean it's like a whole years wages from a part time job if at minimum wage you work about 10 hours a week. It's also my yearly rent. It's also about how much it costs to go to Asia for 6 weeks. Also (randomly) if you spent one hour doing homework everyday during a 26 week school year, it would take 27.5 years or 55, 13 week semesters to get to 5000 hours. However, it would only take 20.5 months of playing 8 hours of video games in a day to reach 5000 hours.

I was thinking yesterday, 'how much is too much..? How long should you play video games before it's too much..? how about, when you are gaming more than you are inhaling..?' That is an enourmous amount of time! like 12 hours in a day (on average, excluding possible holding your breath to make the amount of time inhaling lower)!! 12 hours isn't actually all that much. I mean on Tuesdays I am at school for at least 10 hours. Last semester it was 13 hours. xP

Anyways, there are a number of other things I wanted to calculate / discuss.

So, as far as the origin of life is concerned, if abiotic genesis is where things came from and on the off chance that atoms began combining and formed amino acids, guess what..? There are 80 different types and two different forms of each. So of the 160 possible amino acids that may be formed only 20 of them are actually used in proteins. The next problem is that a protien can be made of hundred or thousands of amino acids in very specific sequences. The probability of these things all happening is very unlikely to begin with, not to mention how many different proteins and how many you'd need to make anything.

The next thing I have been thinking about for a while is a question about the rate of work, or rather how many people we can share with in a year. Going with conservative numbers of about 50 people sharing once a day each every weekday in a 26 week school year, you get about 6500 people. If you increase the numbers to 2 people in a day 13000 people will have heard in a year. This is of course not taking into account people who say 'no thanks' or people who are too busy, and of course when the number goes up you will most likely get overlap, also I'm not including any increase in number of C4C'ers or when people go sharing together. Now I will tell you that there are about 26000 students at Carleton. It would take over two years at that rate to reach everyone (with all variables restricted. xP) Clearly this means we should try harder.

Ya. There are some numbers. Whether they are stats or not has nothing to do with my Bio lab report.
