Omg, so coincidental!

 

But what happens if some people's post gets deleted, shifting your post #204 to an earlier number? (I have had this happen to another topic before on many occasions)

That 204 joke is a fluke. There are a bunch of answers including 80 for Capablanca chess and infinity for infinity chess now that I think of it.

Having been here a few years.  You would get page after page after page of people arguing over absolutely anything.

I betcha a post along the lines of: "I danced on the sun last week.  Prove i didn't"  Would get at least 100+ comments.

I can prove! the distance to the sun is 9.296x10^7 miles. the number of hours in a week is 168. speed =distance/time =553333 1/3 miles per hour. Nothing we haveo n earth travels that fast so there.

What is  the classic statistic class line:

You can prove anything statistically, or something like that.
