If grahame can tell us how many posts there are on this forum, we'll be able to work out whether 4 posts at a given time is in line with probability!

If grahame can tell us how many posts there are on this forum, we'll be able to work out whether 4 posts at a given time is in line with probability! There are 135,890 posts. However, they are biased; around 6% of visits are between 11 and 12, whereas well under 1% are (for example) between 1 and 2 a.m., so I'm not surprised we had 4 "hits" on that time though it is slightly on the high side. I would not expect to find as many or any for 01:23:45, for example. Anywhere between 1 and 6 would not have been a surprise. 0 would have been a shock (and cause me to relook at how the software works because the very point was a match in the first place). Higher numbers would have started getting statistically improbable and I would have looked for something else such as "do people post during their 10 minute break for 11-ziz at work". You did ask ...

No 01:23:45 either. Ladies and gents ... I'm clocking off for the night at around 20:50:30 ... let's move back on subject. I'll be passing through Reading in the morning at around 07:15 and need my sleep first Title: Re: An interesting discussion on the times at which posts are posted ...
