Der Trommler Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 QUOTE (RickMike @ Aug 15 2008, 11:21 AM) QUOTE Here's a idea that me and some of my friends came up with. You take the number of years you've been a fan and divide it by the number of concerts you've been to, and the answer is your concert factor! The lower the number, the better. The formula you have devised penalizes long-time fans who might not have been big concert-goers (as if any of this really matters anyway). How about multiplying your 2 numbers instead? What would the max score be? (# of years since first album released) x (# of concerts they have ever played) = max score. Using your formula my score is 4 (20 years, 5 concerts), but using MY formula, my score is 100! Woo hoo! I got a hundred! ;-> Mike Using this formula mine would be 378 (21 years/18 shows) LSM says hers would be 154....that's less than half of mine! Ah hah I beat you!!
