Congrats V4L on 200,000 orders!

[Adrenalynn]

I just thought I'd beat the rush and get a head start on October/November and congratulate you all now, although my equation starts to fall apart shortly before that, so there is a little uncertainty if it's October or November. I'll let you know in a couple months when you'll cross it. .

 

[Mary Kay]

Are we there yet?

 

[phishtraveler]

I am really confused.
do you mean October or November, 2011? How do you know how many orders they have processed??

 

[Adrenalynn]

Yes. Because I R SMRT!

You probably haven't collected as much data as I, but if you know your math, you have enough information even now to start making some guesses - right at your finger-tips. Try checking your order history page. And if you're really interested, you can scour the forum for people posting when they ordered and what their order number is. You'll come up with something like:

I even included the polynomial, save you some effort!

I wonder if the 200,000th order will get a prize of some sort.

 

[Sallyem]

THANK YOU for including the polynomial!! You never cease to amaze me!

Psh. Wish I could claim more credit. Back in the day - we'd spend half our time on silly non-linear regressions and still end-up with mediocre curve-fit. These days, I can paste the data into my phone, hit a couple keys, and have incredibly accurate n-th order equations spit-out in a fraction of a second. When my phone is doing more than a billion instructions/second, it's hard to claim much credit for a simple regression analysis...

 

[phishtraveler]

my order # from yesterday is 130819. i suppose its possible that they started at "1" !

 

[topdown67]

I just got a shipping notice for an order placed Sunday.

Your order has shipped. (Order#: 131580 placed on 1/23/2011)

Looks like they are pretty busy!

Well Lynn...you know the old saying: Garbage In, Garbage Out. You have to figure out WHAT to feed your phone. I am still impressed! Let me keep you up there on your pedestal! Everyone needs an idol. LOL

PS: Seems as if 150,000 is their next big goal. When will that happen? After all, that is pretty impressive as well!

I think we actually started at about 1130

That's because you and Steve sold 1130 orders to yourselves before finally deciding to share your secret with the rest of us!

I wander how many gallons or litre of ejuice that equates to.And all those analogs that never got lit up..

 

[Adrenalynn]

And all those analogs that never got lit up..

Believe it or not, I think we could pretty easily collect and munge enough data to pretty accurately determine that.

You know - that might be a interesting number for V4L from either a marketing or just warm-and-fuzzy perspective. Let me give some thought to constructing the survey that would lead to that calculation.

Sally -

You're a sweetie! But every time I take a header off one of those pedestals my ego gets a big ugly bruise. At least I land on my big swollen fat head which breaks my fall.

 

[Mary Kay]

Hmmm I thought the softer way to land way on your feathered end...judging from your avi.
