I was bad to begin with! HahaPeople are only bad at math because they don't practice.
I figured there was about 60 days in the year and he needs about 2000k more posts. 2000posts divided by 60 days is about 33 posts per pay.
You can do it, carp!
I went about it the hard way apparently, I went approx 12 weeks, each with 7 days, 12 x 7 = 84 so that's 84 days, then I divided 3000 by 84, which my head said was 38, but after running it through a calculator my calculator says 35ish... I guess since he already has almost 1000 of the posts I used to calculate it should be slightly less than that... But as said, my math is terrible and you're a physicist (I think? Or have I muddled you with someone else?) so we'll use your math.
Go carp! Rack up that post count by sharing as much knowledge as you can!
Edit: its November, there's not 12 weeks left in the year... I need to start looking at the calendar more often hahaha
