Amid all the drama and hoopla of past 3 days, one number struck me as very odd. As I've a tendency to take numbers too seriously I decided to do some analysis of the news that Baba Ramdev got 55 lakh missed calls. I used a simple technique. A day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. So multiplying all we get 86400 seconds. Now the next step was crucial, I took an assumption here and you can question me on that. I assumed that a person calling Baba will at least busy his phone for 5 seconds (Note- I'm not saying that the phone will ring for 5 seconds). So dividing 5 by 86400 seconds will gives us 17280, exactly the number of calls possible in a day if the above assumption is taken.The next part was to calculate how many days are required to reach the magical figure of 55 lakhs. Just another calculation away. I divided 55,00,000 by 17280 and I get roughly 319 days. That leaves a question. To get so many calls has Baba been planning this for more than year?
Well...good observation...was this story posted in JagBani, by any chance??
ReplyDeleteI did not read it in Jag Bani, but at http://www.firstpost.com/politics/baba-gives-a-taste-of-his-brand-of-humour-before-fast-20256.html So I have no idea about Jag Bani
ReplyDeleteAs i said before also, Baba must be on drugs.
ReplyDelete@uns yeah this is a good explanation. He must be hallucinating. Seeing 55 as 55 lakh.
