i maintain a database that collects information from utility meters around campus. guess how many records it holds

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Jan 30 '09, 10:30

i'm not sure how many data points write to the database, but (most of) the points write in at a rate of 1 per minute.

the database has only been online since july 08.

hint: it's advisable that you answer in the number of millions

250 million -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:33 3
- i'll let you guys figure out who won. the answer is about 126million -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 10:35 2
  - Crap I forgot to divide by 2 for the six months, I estimated 70 points that give readings. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:39
  - me, we use price is right rules, so I won. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 10:37
