There's no apparent reason for this post, I just want to see what kind of reaction I get. Since it's the pub, let's see if anyone comments.
I just edited a post and earned 2/100 of one cent. That means I would have to do that 50 times to earn one penney. Let's get rich. In order to earn $1, I would have to do that 5000 times. To earn $20, it would require 100,000 edits of the same size. Let's do my car payment- 1,800,000 changes. How 'bout the monthly mortgage? 6,750,000 Let's look at paying that sucker off: 750,000,000 edits. Finally, how about we see if my calculator can can figure out a way to pay off the outstanding national debt (currently around $11 trillion :cry: :evil: ) 55,000,000,000,000,000. That's 55 quintillion edits. I had to go get my kid's fancy cost me a months salary calculator for that one. :)
To end this absolutely ridiculous waste of cyber-space, here's my last number, ok...numbers. I figure it takes me about 20 seconds to make the edit. If you factor in the above numbers, and I went non-stop, here's how long it would take to do all of them:
To earn:
A penny- 16.66 minutes
A dollar- 27.77 hours
$20- 555.55 hours/23.41 days
Car payment: 10,000 hours/416.66 days
Mortgage: 37,500 days/104.16 years
Mtge pay off: 11,415.55 years/1, 141.44 decades/114.14 CENTURIES
Nat'l debt: 351,000 MILLENIA (that's a thousand years/millenium)
So, in conclusion: I have figured out a way to pay off my car within my lifetime using AmPm. Lastly, I was really bored.

Ahhhh Amit, you forgot the 10 post per day limit on which you get paid. So, if you figure that into the formula, you'd only get paid for 10 a day. So, if you take your figure of 1865 posts per day x 365 days a year, that would be 680, 725 posts. I think that in this algorithm you get paid less, somehow, per post as you go as well, but we won't consider that.
So, according to your numbers, at the 10 per day limit, 680,725 posts would take you 68072.5 days, or 186.5 years to earn $1,000. What does a two-line post pay? If you did this at the .45 per post level, it would only take you 222.22 days.
I'm getting a headache...
