ralphwiggum 6 Posted May 27, 2003 man, American mathematics education is going down and this is the example. Â (2.25 years)*(365days/yr) = days since you played OFP since you play 3.5hrs/day multiply above by 3.5/24 than you get time you wasted on OFP. 119.76 days edit: made a mistake in units.

CuteQA 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Do you think you waste your time for ofp? Or you spend your time for OFP meaningfully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Ralph, you have touched my life... so I have made your avatar pretty! (not all grainy, now with a border) You can link to that or use another host I don't care Also, everyone else who reads this thread, post your results to the math... would be interesting to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphwiggum 6 Posted May 27, 2003 Thanx blackdog~. Guess i should postpone changing your member title to OFP Pornographer. Here's another fun thing: (hours you spent playing OFP)*(minimum wage or how much you can make) ouch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted May 27, 2003 Here's another fun thing:(hours you spent playing OFP)*(minimum wage or how much you can make) ouch! Â well... at about 300 days (yes i've spent nearly a year of my life on this game) thats (300*24)*Å4.50 eeeppp thats Å32,400!!!!! Â Â Â Â If only I was getting paid to work at BAS...

bn880 5 Posted May 27, 2003 I can not follow your equation because I don't consider my time wasted. It is good entertainment or an interesting project for me. But, I have wasted time in OFP due to engine limitations/quirks you can find here and there. I'd say 100h wasted. It's not so bad considering the other hours of fun/thinking/creativity etc... but those 100h are sooo frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reedkiller 0 Posted May 27, 2003 how about working how mich time you have wasted doing pointless calculations and then add on the time it took you to work that out, and then add out then time it took to work that out, then add on............ It is quite a large number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted May 28, 2003 Thats why I said SPENT I don't consider ANY of my time spent with OFP a waste... I've learnt so much from the game, and I am still learning more - what does that go to show? Games are the best learning aids Oh, and Reedkiller... when you do Maths at college, a few calcs like this are a welcome break...

Harnu 0 Posted May 30, 2003 man, American mathematics education is going down and this is the example. Â American Mathamatics (In general life) is an 'ish' or as some of you would say 'esque' science. 2.77*8=22'ish Only when it matters are we exact. And we can be even more precise when your damn metric system isn't in our way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted May 30, 2003 hehe... well in my life, sin cos and tan allways manage to cancel each other out (doing Maths at college) to allow me to calculate something i allready know... crazy isnt it... Oh, and I have heard that in the world of artillery, it can be useful for calculating the range and trajectory of shells... but oh well.. back to boring old "hence solve the equation blah... blah... blah...." gah... there's no crying smiley... so :'o( will have to do...
