:Another thought:

::Do you expect the growth of a project like Wikipedia or Conservapedia to occur at a constant rate? ("274 articles per day for 10 years?") Or do you expect it to be an example of a [[geometric progression]]?

::If Conservapedia has 3,000 articles and grows at 70 articles per day, that means that it grows by 2.3% every day. I don't think it will really keep doing this, but let's suppose it did. My calculations show that 1.023<sup>31</sup>, that is 1.023 multiplied by itself thirty-one times, is 2.02. That means that the number of articles would double every month.

::'''If''' the number of articles in Conservapedia were to double every month, how long would it take to reach a million? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:55, 20 January 2007 (EST)
