YEARS ago, some poster figured out how many stairs my smiley did in a year

[matcom]

they worked out the math. forgot who or what the number was. now, i DARE you to figure it out :D

anyone up to tell us how many stairs my smiley climbes in an hour, day, week, month, year?

:D

[davidinalameda]

1. you know you're gonna have like a thousand replies to this

you're an evil evil man

:evilgrin:

[matcom]

2. thank you

*sniff*

your making me all weepy

[Zuni]

3. he is moving so fast now

why did his speed increase when he shrunk? Does it have anything to do with the theory of relativity?

[matcom]

4. # of frames

they are different between the hippo and ass. DS1 had no choice

[arcane1]

8. dude he's working his ass off on those stairs now!

[Zuni]

9. come to think of it, the hippo has lost fluidity of motion

:(

[BikeWriter]

30. He's running his ass off on my PC.

[Tyler Durden]

5. WHERE is M.A.T.C.O.M.?!?!?!?

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Wasn't it ZenLefty? He was good at that. Like who killed the most threads.

Come to think of it...where is ZenLefty? :shrug:

7. hey....you can only have ONE gif in a sig.....

...sigh...just makes me WANT a CIG...DAMMIT! :smoke: :hi:

[matcom]

10. it IS only ONE gif

thanks to the magic of M.A.T.C.O.M.

[jus_the_facts]

17. Heh....buncha ASSHOLES.....

:loveya:

[tk2kewl]

11. Ok...

looks like 14 climb/decent pairs in 20 seconds...

that's 42 climb/decent pairs per minute...

4 steps up and 4 down for each climb/decent pair...

that's 336 steps per minute...

525,600 minutes in a year...

that's 176,601,600 steps per year

[SidDithers]

15. I had 20 pairs in 30 seconds...

we're in the same ballpark, anyway :)

Sid

[TimeChaser]

18. I got about 310 steps per minute

[SidDithers]

12. hehe

9600 up, 9600 down every hour
230400 every day
1612800 every week
83865600 every year.

Give or take a few :)

Sid

[matcom]

14. you and the post above you are TOTALLY different

maybe collaberation is in order ;)

[Ediacara]

13. He does around 576 stairs/minute

So:
34,560 in an hour
829,440 in a day
5,806,080 in a week
24,883,200 in a 30 day month
302,745,600 in a standard year

Give or take...

[matcom]

16. that makes THREE guesses that don't match up

look above you :D

[Ediacara]

21. Oh crap!

My math was wrong. I counted 10 full cycles in 12 seconds, so it's about 400 steps/minute

24,000/hour
576,000/day
4,032,000/week
17,280,000/30 day month
210,024,000/standard year

[fudge stripe cookays]

19. Holy shit!

You gave the smiley a couple of triple espressos, didn't you?

Look at 'im go!

20. 168,303,605 stairs per year

15 frames at 0.10 seconds per frame = 1.5 seconds per trip.
31,556,926 seconds per year divided by 1.5 seconds = 21,037,951 trips
8 stairs per trip times 21,037,951 trips = 168,303,605 stairs per year.

[SidDithers]

26. I was close...

I measured 20 trips in 30 seconds, 320 stairs/minute, giving
168,192,000 stairs / year.

I buggered up my year the first time (and i'm still only using 24 hours * 365 days, which I know isn't totally accurate)

Sid

[salvorhardin]

31. I used google to get the number of seconds in a year

Google will act like a pretty decent calculator and units converter.
Google on "1 year in seconds".

I'm not sure about the frame rate though. I opened the graphic up in Animation Shop and it didn't import the frame rate so I guessed at 10/100 of a second.

[Misunderestimator]

22. OMG... It's going faster!

[DS1]

23. It's all dependent on computer speed

It's set to go "As fast as fucking possible"

Really, it's an option in Imageready :P

[matcom]

24. .

[Misunderestimator]

25. Ha! I KNEW you would combine it into one file!

:rofl:

[tridim]

27. What's your spank to stair ratio?

A question for the ages.

[matcom]

28. oooooo BRILLIANT!!!

how many times does the hippo spank the ass and what is the ratio between stair-climbing and ass-spankin'?

BRILLIANT!

[Samurai_Writer]

29. 7 pairs in 10 seconds for me...

so there are 4 stairs up and 4 stairs down.

8 stairs x 7 sets = 56 stairs
10 seconds x 6 = 1 minute

56 x 6 = 336 per minute

336 x 60 x 24 = 483,840 per day

483,840 x 365 = 176,601,600 per year

Did I do that right?

[usedtobesick]

32. on my box

it takes 2 seconds to go up and down so I could that as one rep.
so 30 reps a minute
1800 reps a hour
43,200 reps a day
302,400 reps a week
15,768,000 reps a year. unless it is a leap year...


If you multiply that by the 8 steps in a rep.... you get the idea...

One tight ass on the stair master!
