Count Sideways Thread

[kurchatovium]

Ok you are thinking has Kurch lost his mind and I say well maybe lol. Not sure this thread will catch on but I got nothing else to do tonight lol

Here is how it works .... if the last digit of the number of posts you have is between 0 and 4 then you subtract that number from the total in the thread. If the last digit in your post count is between 5 and 9 then you add it. I will start us off at 100 then make another post to illustrate. Hopefully this works out lol

No, Kurch has not lost his mind. He has designed the rules to have an upward bias so it is very unlikely that this thread's number will go below 0.
The average of 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 is +2.5, so if the last digits are equally likely, then the number will drift upwards in the long run.
