Let's Count to 21 Million with Images      10000

It has taken 575 days to reach 10,000.  So at this rate the thread won't reach 21 million for another 3,300 years!

Care to recalculate if the daily post count is boosted to 400 and I farm out the prime numbered posts to an independent subcontractor?

Maybe this is a job for Amazon's Mechanical Turk?

Pay 3 cents per post... It'll only cost us $630,000 to finish it up!

Based on the prime number theorem (Ref: http://primes.utm.edu/howmany.shtml), there are approximately 1.2 million primes between 10,000 and 21 million.  So if you subcontract out the primes then:

(21e6 - 10e3 - 1.2e6)/400 = 50000 days = 135 years

Disclaimer: I am an engineer so my calculations are likely to be out by a factor of at least 10.

If that's binary, then you'll be off by a factor of 2.

Thanks for the motivation -_-. I was hoping to reach it one day, but that won't happen (unless we find the fountain of youth).

You are just 8,000 post away which is really close right? I am about 9900 post away...
