rootbear75 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) so im bored at work today, reading xkcd, and i come across a semi-recent comic: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/fermirotica.png Using his formula, and the values for my area: Regional Density: Northern VA: 3072 per mi^2 (4.8 per acre)Average frequency of sex (taken off of numerous pages) 104/year (twice a week for average couples in their 20s)Average Duration of sex: i couldnt find a reliable number, so im using his "30 minutes" Plug this into the google Calculator (You must include units for it to work correctly), and I came up with someone is having sex within 300 meters of this office... theoretically. (multiple bathrooms, other offices, people staying late, it could work... even a pilot doing it to one of the FAs outside on the planes...) What's it like for your area?

Samapico Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Your office is 600m large? ... Airport still? And yeah, that is pretty old. I just discovered xkcd a few days ago, actually
»Lynx Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Like any formula, the lesser the entities the shittier the result.
rootbear75 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 Your office is 600m large? ... Airport still?um no.... thats just the distance away from my desk that someone was probably having sex...
rootbear75 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 um no... i edited it 2 minutes after i posted it so... you just read wrong.
Samapico Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Lean to read... isn't that what old people do?
Trained Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I should of stayed in high school. Formulas?
Samapico Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Now, make it a life goal of yourself to lower this average, so it tends towards 0 meters, meaning you'd constantly have sex
»Lynx Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 If sea levels keep rising, that number will keep falling... Oh, but then I guess there's Swine Flu! Gah
rootbear75 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Now, make it a life goal of yourself to lower this average, so it tends towards 0 meters, meaning you'd constantly have sexWouldn't work.It would be: "On Average, someone within 0 meters is having sex."

Samapico Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 .... That's exactly the point? The only person at 0.0000 meters from you is you (let's consider your center of gravity as origin).

The only person at 0.0000 meters from you is you (let's consider your center of gravity as origin).yes, but thats ON AVERAGE.... not always... and by that logic, that would mean you are reaching it around and f***ing yourself. and i dont think its possible either...cant find a calculator to do it however... have to have units in there otherwise it wont work.If you can simplify the equation using 8 0/year * 30 minutes, then we should be fine(0.00456318211) EDIT: ...ok, someone turn off the NUMBER 8 0 making that stupid smiley face... Oh, and i found a graph... Title: Distance in Miles on average that someone is having sex, As per your regional density X (in people per miles squared) However, it's in miles, not meters... so do the conversion for yourself.x = population density in Miles^2y = distance in miles So, for 3750 people per mile squared: your distance is .221 miles which equals 356.414978 meters Thats if i did my caculations correct. Source: http://web2.0calc.com/ using "plot(sqrt(2/(pi*x*0.00456318211)), x=0.. 10000)" as my argument. Edited July 23, 2009 by rootbear75
»Lynx Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 'yes, but thats ON AVERAGE.... not always...' However, if the number goes low enough it no longer stays as an average and becomes a constant. 'and by that logic, that would mean you are reaching it around and f***ing yourself.' No, because the population density would be so high that we'd all be crushed (for it to reach a level of 0.00000), but theoretically you'd be fucking the closest person crushed into you, or they'd be fucking you. -L
Samapico Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 If something that cannot be negative has an average value of 0, it means it is always 0.
Samapico Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 EDIT: ...ok, someone turn off the NUMBER 8 0 making that stupid smiley face...Done... I must say the default emoticons set had a lot of dumb settings.80 changed for [img=http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/mega_shok.gif] to get Also changed to [img=http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/dirol.gif] to get Undesired smileys are annoying
Drake7707 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 However, it's in miles, not meters... so do the conversion for yourself. Who the hell uses miles nowadays, switch to the bleeping standard metric system This post was totally relevant, as much relevancy as this thread, yessirree
