I think there may be around, max, 25 users that every now and then ask a question, or write an answer or other kind of reply.
How many do you think there are (left)?
After all 25 of you have responded, with what you think is the number of active members, I will add ‘m all up and divide it to get the actual number.

Go.

Gosh, I am not good with numbers, and I don’t really look at things that way. Not a lot though.

Sometimes I roll my eyes at some of the answers, because they seem to be phoned in, and you could win money if you placed a bet on what some Jellies answers will be.

I’m fairly immobile usually when Fluthering.

I want numbers, Jellies….
For all I care you make them up, but I need numbers!

My guess is that the number is much larger if you allow “active to include “infrequent”.

Fair point.
And the number you guess?

C’mon guys, I need numbers.
How else will I manage to do calculations… ~

I have 25 users in my Fluther who post at least once in awhile, although some haven’t posted in several months.

@Brian1946 You always show up in unexpected places. Sometimes I thought you were gone forever :(

The best way to get a close guesstimate is to “follow” everyone who answers a question here. We just have to agree on how long the tally should continue in order to allow all the “active” members to show up.

I suspect this is something JP could figure out when he feels better.

Using the probability density here

and carefully defining active by examining the pigs entrails I had left-over from another investigation I conclude that the number of active Fluther participants is :

325
