Math and Your Time Left On Earth

How does this work for those already over 80?

Re: Math and Your Time Left On Earth




So what the hell is this supposed to prove?

Yeah I'm not sure how this proves anything.


I've taken real tests that are a much better indicator of your life span and ask more accurate questions.

examples: (these years I made up to illustrate since I can't remember the real ones off the top of my head.)

do you smoke subtract 6-10 years depending on how much.

did any of you grandparents live to be over 80 add two years.

did any grandparents live to be on 65 or under take away two years(the lifespan of ones parents and grandparents seems to be a big indicator of how long you live.

do you exercise regularly add two years.

do you have a job that requires strenuous activity add two years.

never exercise? you lose a year maybe.

I think stress was a factor too.....

I should find the actual test in my sociology notes and post it here, I found it pretty interesting.



I've also been told by a couple of professors a doctor and two different insurance sales persons that companies that sell and provide medical insurance have surveys like these that are so accurate that they can tell you the exact year and sometimes exact month most of their clients will die.

that's part of the reason they will sometimes seemingly randomly up the premiums and screw people.

I think it might be that we are awake (24 divided by 10 multiplied by 7) hours and asleep 7.2 hours but it fails to take account of traffic lights and late buses and other dead end activities of a similar nature.

Anyone over 80 is obviously on borrowed time and to make the most of it they should take uppers in strong coffee and avoid traffic jams.

25.9

years?
months?
weeks?
days?
hours?
minutes?
seconds?

okay, it's not seconds left

So DJ, now enough time has passed to find out... was it minutes?

<<ebrown waits expectantly for a reply>>

not minutes either

stay tuned ntil tomorrow for the hours update

I don't think a death watch has ever been done on A2K... perhaps this is an internet first!

I hope we are waiting for a very long time. Maybe it's decades.
