To get a more accurate rate of boxes placed per year you should look at just the last year in AQ, or better yet, use LBNA, which has a longer history. According to my calculations, the 1 billionth box will be placed when the Cubs win the World Series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-56376811152386047212007-10-14T17:26:00.000-07:002007-10-14T17:26:00.000-07:00[quote and is there any letterboxer bigger than Di...[quote and is there any letterboxer bigger than Dixie in North Carolina,[/quote]<BR/><BR/>yea...

I am sure it is only temporary as she would not deprive us of the delight in finding one of her own!<BR/><BR/>Great stats! It makes me understand how presidents and other pols delight in relying on polls.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, Ryan, for jumpstarting the grey matter!<BR/><BR/>QoSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-66413864765438215452007-10-14T03:49:00.000-07:002007-10-14T03:49:00.000-07:00Ok, that "stat" definately caught my eye. But here...Ok, that "stat" definately caught my eye. <BR/><BR/>But here's some facts that may skew your results. 1) "Scout" as a planter consists of Scout, Eagle Eye and Maggie. Granted they plant as a family NOW, but I predict that by 2010, Maggie will have surpassed her mother in plants. And will probably have her own account. If you've ever met Maggie, you will agree that she is an up and coming letterbox planter and carver in her own right! 2) The 'Scout' family has a vacation place, much closer to Dixie, and so will probably team up much sooner with Dixie. <BR/><BR/>3) I don't mountain bike, so I am a slower planter than the "Scout" family. Heck, my new bike here in CT even has a big basket on the front!(Toto is inside)lol 4) There are no places left in CT to plant. Seriously. I may have moved to CT, but I have yet to plant a box in the month I have been here. I am working 60 hours a week and spend my weekends FINDING boxes! I plant boxes to bring people to cool places I have found in my travels. I may know New York like the back of my hand, but I am still learning about my world here....<BR/><BR/>My "money" is on Scout/Maggie to plant the billionth letterbox.<BR/>So I'll take some of that action. I wager a slab of PZ cut on it!<BR/><BR/>LW PhD<BR/>"Nice Counts"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31054369.post-29354355450156877732007-10-13T22:48:00.000-07:002007-10-13T22:48:00.000-07:00And I thought my stats class would never be releva...And I thought my stats class would never be relevant to the real world :)<BR/><BR/>Ryan - I have just completed round 2 of studying for my MBA Statistics mid-term exam - which is Tuesday night. Needing a bit of inspiration to shut myself up in my office again tomorrow to study all day, I decided to check out AQ blogs before heading to bed. <BR/><BR/>Imagine my delight when I found your post, and now I am happy to report I will sleep better, knowing there are actually practical applications for this stuff I'm learning :-)<BR/><BR/>Have a great evening & I'll be keeping an eye out for Lock Wench's profile<BR/><BR/>SunFleur<BR/>*who eagerly anticpates boxing after exams are over!*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
