<p>OK, with a little hint, I think I figured it out…</p>
<p>The countdown is for f(x) = Max( i=1,2,…n) g(i,x)
for all i where x <= U*</p>
<p>where g(i,x) = Max( 0, U* - x)
array U = <a href=“subject%20to%20verification”>300, 1000, 999999</a>
n = 3</p>
<h2>and x = dynamic, non-decreasing integer measure of DigMedia’s interaction with CC .</h2>
<p>Does that work?</p>
<p>cool - Works well… but is the 999999 a boundary condition of some kind, or is that a speculative threshhold? And how would that ever be verifiable?</p>
<p>Dig:
Strictly speculative. However, in my opinion, it’s a practical upper bound. If you <em>really</em> want to be picky, use infinity. :)</p>
<p>Of course your theory only works for X and is single-dimensional. Don’t forget that CC is two-dimensional and that X-prime (X’) is now no longer included. </p>
<p>But only oldtimers would know that.</p>
<p>The other obvious flaw in your theory is that at any moment, X may become zero, based on previous observation.</p>
<p>Hey, I never said x was a <em>linear</em> measure. It’s just non-decreasing …</p>
<p>Oh, so you don’t like the idea of a zero in the countdown. Here, use this modified function instead:</p>

<p>The countdown is for f(x) = Max( i=1,2,…n) g(i,x)
for all i where x < U*</p>
<p>where g(i,x) = Max( 1, U* - x)
array U = <a href=“subject%20to%20verification”>300, 1000, 999999</a>
n = 3</p>

<p>(Okay, we have <em>both</em> got to get a life. I know I need to hit the lakefront trail, walk off a couple of pounds…)</p>
<p>uh, dig?</p>
<p><strong><em>SURELY</em></strong> YOU ARE <em>NOT</em> DEBATING ANYTHING MATHEMATICALLY RELATED WITH <strong><em>optimizerdad</em></strong>???</p>
<p>:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:</p>
<p>p.s. Y’all lost ME totally!!! ;)</p>

<p><strong><em>ROFLMAO</em></strong>*!!!</p>
<p>~b.</p>
<p>DARE I SAY IT??? <strong><em>6</em></strong>!!!</p>
<p>GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DIG!!!</p>
<p>~b.</p>
<p>berurah -
Thanks - I was so caught up with OptiDad, I forgot to post it. :)</p>
<p>You know I could count down to zero at any time, but that would cheapen the achievemnent. I need to EARN this the hard way.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>dig, how nice to hear that you are one of those who truly appreciates the value of a long-sought-after accomplishment. No short cuts for YOU!!! ;)</p>
<p>~berurah</p>
<p>Hurrrumph. I feel so left out.</p>
<p>*** 5 ****
count 'em **<strong><em>5</em></strong>*</p>
<p>waiting for <strong><em>5</em></strong>*</p>
<p>do I hear <strong><em>5</em></strong>?</p>
<p>I am expecting great things from… shall I say it? Or shall I let others guess?</p>
<p>I know what it means to achieve such a hard-earned honor. And you deserve it so much, digmedia. I will be watching this thread with bated breath!</p>
<p>I actually managed to lose count as Optimizerdad’s post scrambled my brains lol :)</p>
<p>Well…</p>
<ul>
<li>* * * * FIVE * * * * *</li>
</ul>
<p>and also </p>
<ul>
<li>* * * * FOUR * * * * *</li>
</ul>
<p>!!! :)</p>
<p>lts: I lost count too. Berurah had to chime in.</p>
<p><strong><em>3</em></strong>**
we’re approaching <strong><em>3</em></strong></p>
<p>are we not?</p>
<p>You are all so gleeful, I don’t think the countdown is toward Doomsday and the end of the world.
A new meaning for CC: the Counting Cult. ;)</p>
