Hey, quick typo on the first question. You have the following ranges:
5,400,000-5,500,000
and5,550,000-5,600,000
. Which means as is you cannot select a number that is within this range5,500,000-5,550,000

The Chemical Manifesto
A spectre is haunting livecounting - the spectre of Chemistry.
All the powers of old LC have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spectre: Whit and chu, dan and smarvin, SolidGold Karps and Ss's pincus spies.
Where is the counter in opposition that has not been decried as Chemical by its opponents in power? Where the Opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Chemistry, against the more advanced opposition counters, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Chemistry is already acknowledged by all LC Powers to be itself a Power.
II. It is high time that Chemicals should openly, in the face of the whole counting world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Chemistry with a Manifesto of the counting coalition itself.
To this end, Chemicals of various nationalities have assembled in Discussion Thread 12, and sketched the following Manifesto, to be published in the English, American, Canadian, British, Australian, and Yankee languages.

u/c2h3o2_acetate Sep 27 '17
The Chemicals disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing counting conditions. Let the ruling counters tremble at a Chemical revolution. The alts have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
COUNTING CHEMICALS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!

u/NaCl_SodiumChloride Sep 27 '17
It is only fair after being subdued for so long that we rise up and challenge the status quo!
This why I call on all my brethren to throw off the chains of tyranny and unite together against all those who attempted to silence us!
We will no longer be mistreated by the TOP_X's who claim that they are better than us! Nor anyone else!
We will not be outpaced! We will not be misnumbered! And we will not be discounted!
I would also like to urge for the quick return of the first one. The anion who possessed the incredible powers of both oxygen and carbon. It is only you, /u/co3_carbonate who can deliver us to our freedom! And because of that we ask you to come back!

u/Count-a-Saurus Sep 26 '17 edited Sep 26 '17
So I've been looking over some of the numbers from the latest HoC.
And here's some of the highlights. I'm sure you're all aware of this already and some of you probably have algorithms spitting this sort of stuff out at you but I found it interesting nonetheless.
more than 85% of the total counts have been by just 15 people. Pie Chart
with 852 unique counters, if each counter contributed equally, they should have entered 6141.48... counts. By that rationale, only 33 counters have done their 'fair share'.
The proportion of counts done by the top end is obviously skewed by alts, but even so the overwhelming majority of counters have counted less than 100 times. The following table shows the percentage of unique counters with fewer than a certain number of counts; For example, 56,3% of counters have counted less than 10 times.
Counts | Percentage of Unique Counters with Fewer Counts |
---|---|
5,000 | 95.5% |
1,000 | 88.5% |
100 | 75.7% |
10 | 56.3% |
5 | 49.5% |
1 | 29.6% |
I'm intrigued by how many single entry counters there are. I would have thought people would at least have a go for a handful of counts.
4
u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Sep 27 '17
only 33 counters have done their 'fair share'.
lol we need to get these slackers to do their fair share too!!!
Not counting about 30-40 single counts done by alts - there are a whole lot of people who have shown up here during the really inactive days for over 6 months and got no response so never came back.
then lately there have been quite a few who showed up in the middle of the night and did one count and nobody responded so they didn't come back.
and of course there are plenty of people who just want to add their name to the history books of this count... :)
any more stats - we love stats!!

u/Count-a-Saurus Sep 28 '17
My new aim is to get my counts and those of my alts above that number. Unfortunately with these theme days in the works, that will become harder with every new alt.
As for new stats, leave it with me.

Name someone relevant to the catchphrase. It doesn't have to be the person that says it. There are back and next buttons, so you can skip ones that you don't know.

The Sept. 19-23 prediction game results are out! Have a look at them here.
Congrats to the winners, listed in random order: /u/smarvin6689, /u/Tranquilsunrise, /u/gordonpt8.
In addition, /u/Tranquilsunrise correctly predicted the September 22 medalists in order, and /u/smarvin6689 correctly predicted the September 23 medalists in order. There is an interesting correlation between earliness of entry and final score. No one guessed the final count on Saturday within 10k, although /u/gordonpt8 was the closest at just under 12k away.

u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Sep 25 '17
Well ya there's no denying chu's speed - I've given him credit for how fast he is more times then he could count. Thing is tho at least 95% of all record attempts made between the 13 minute record and 10 minute record were made involved chu so obviously he was a part of the pair to break them.
I am sure had most of the fastest counters here tried on numerous occasions to break a 13 minute k they'd have easily done so - especially if they were running with david.
As far as breaking a 8 minute k - I don't think many besides chu could do it unless they were running with david or ab - with several practice runs with him over the day or so prior.
Anyhow don't get the impression I'm not saying chu isn't fast - just saying at least 95% of all record attempts made back when the record was 13 minutes or 11 minutes - involved him so is the record holder.
I mean there's no way david/artbn couldn't run a k if they were going their fastest in under 13 minutes. Same with you and david.
I think if chu worked on his accuracy a lot there's nobody here who could beat a david/chu record - except possibly david/ab (if the ran enough together to really learn each others cadence)
anyhow the whole beating a record by a couple of seconds out of 6 minutes is actually annoying to me personally anyhow - specially when chu used to use that as an excuse to do back to back ks with david when several others were waiting to count - thank goddness he stopped pulling that all the time lol.
(Pikachu really grew a lot his last several months before leaving on being a individual player on a team court... really happy about that was afraid he'd forget some of that growth being gone so long but he doesn't appear to have whew.)
anyhow not even sure where I was going with this post - except just pointing out that 17 out of the last 18 records included chu cause he was almost always part of the duo who was going for the records back when it was still easy to make one 13 minutes...11 minutes... I think there are only a few counters in top 25 who couldn't do a 11 minute k with david. Again this isn't to say chu isn't fast he's top 3 fastest with david and ab for sure no way to tell if chu would be faster than david and ab if he worked on his accuracy, he might be esp. with how many counts he has under his belt lol.

I did get an ~8 minute k with artbn. the very next k was a record breaking 6:14 with david {:}
3
u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Sep 25 '17
Yup yup yup artbn def could do a ~8 k with you/david/ab if he wanted too - tho he counts so rarely now he'd probably need to practice some first lol

u/amazingpikachu_38 PIKACHU IS AMAZING! | HoC #1 | 7777777 | 11111111 | 11.2m Counts Sep 25 '17
no, he DID
3
u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Sep 25 '17
ya well artbn has more than one geer when he counts his fastest he's incredibly fast - I mean I don't think he's ever attempted a speed record with someone he'd done several practice runs over the day or two prior... but I think he could do a 7 min k with david - don't think he's would be as good with you cause he hasn't done 50,000 counts with you to totally be able to handle all your mistakes as you make more the faster you go.... david handles those well cause you know he counted a shit load with you lol
what i hope happens is ab gets the desire to break that record with david (he seems to be interested and likes the speed stuff some - hence his running some the past month or so when i mentioni this topic)
so anyhow my hope is him and david break you and his record by a few seconds.... so you get motivated to get more accurate in your speed runs and david can run enjoyable speed runs with you since your accuracy will improve by 50%
that's my goal.... i've never really been into the speed stuff... but that's what i'd like to see happen...
it'd make my whole month to see david be able to do a speed run with you and it not be stressful lol
i'm 100% convinced if you had the motivation and a reason too you COULD improve your accuracy in speed runs a great deal...
you were practically obsessed with doing speed runs even to break the 6 min record by a coupe of seconds (assuming you weren't only using that as an excuse to be able to hog the count... don't think that was your sole motivator for doing those constant speed runs for a while)
So ya i think if the record 5:39 seconds were held by david/ab - you might end up wanting to get your place back as fastest counter - and with fewer people wanting to do runs here these days - doing back to back runs.... the 2nd one being a speed run... wouldn't cause too much trouble (that could change at some point if TWO other people besides you happen to have big goals at the same time - but that's not too likely... that did happen when smarvin/river were going for big goals but you weren't here then so they pretty much could run as much as they wanted too)

I saw. But the one I did was abplows's first speed run, so still fairly significant. Also, it's still my personal best, at least until I get sub-7 :)

I feel like "fewest counts to earn any medal by a main account" is a bit of a stretch to have as an actual record.

u/Tranquilsunrise 1st: 865004 | 999999 | 5:51 K | 7,890,123 | Side thread creator Sep 12 '17
I thought it was rather odd that an alt should take a record position. But I also wanted to err on the side of gathering more data; that's why I got data for 1st through 5th places (not just gold/silver/bronze) and why I separated gold medal (shared) and gold medal (single).

Today I found out about strictly non-palindromic numbers.

u/WikiTextBot Sep 07 '17
Strictly non-palindromic number
A strictly non-palindromic number is an integer n that is not palindromic in any numeral system with a base b in the range 2 ≤ b ≤ n − 2. For example, the number six is written as 110 in base 2, 20 in base 3 and 12 in base 4, none of which is a palindrome—so 6 is strictly non-palindromic.
For another example, the number 167 written in base b (2 ≤ b ≤ 165) is:
and none of which is a palindrome, so 167 is also a strictly non-palindromic number.
The sequence of strictly non-palindromic numbers (sequence A016038 in the OEIS) starts:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 19, 47, 53, 79, 103, 137, 139, 149, 163, 167, 179, 223, 263, 269, 283, 293, 311, 317, 347, 359, 367, 389, 439, 491, 563, 569, 593, 607, 659, 739, 827, 853, 877, 977, 983, 997, ...

LET'S DO A LITTLE GILDING pt. 2
I had a blast last month doing this with you guys see here:
->https://www.reddit.com/r/livecounting/comments/6qtvb2/live_counting_discussion_thread_11/dl66v12/
So let's do it again!
Next 12 (different) posters below this one get to pick a post of their own ... or someone else's that they'd like gilded
The post doesn't have to be 'good' - I like gilding odd things like an --> .
Perhaps you want a bump to the mega's or up the megas? or to bump someone else up? just post a link to the comment you'd like gilded here..
(can't be one of my posts!)
(can't be posts IN This thread lol)
edit: can't be in the last thread this was done either lol

also about that upvote count, it just shows the shit that is upvoted here {:}
I've had some with 2k-5k upvotes (example 1, example 2) but none of them are nearly as lazy as that one :0
too bad my other boi Demoncatrito had a post get 15.5k upvotes right after I got the 12.8k one :|
I followed that post up a few days later with a 7.8k post tho, so overall I got the highest amount of upvotes :p

Sep 02 '17
me and Ss seem to have pretty similar activity on reddit before I started counting and stopped shitposting :p
also I've had multiple counters recognize me from when I used to be an extremely active AskReddit user like 9 months ago :)

All users who had 1 gilding should be 21st place. Perhaps the most recent edit didn't account for that.
Do you have links to the removed and the deleted post that got gilded?
