Literotica's Weights And Measures

[Xelebes]

How much is a lit page?

How long is a long thread?

How old is an old thread?

42.

How much is a lit page?

How long is a long thread?

How old is an old thread?

About 3,500 words as I recall.

Too long to read in less than five minutes.

Not on the first page of a particular board.

Yer welcome.

I'm sorry - the answer to the ultimate question of the universe can not calibrate any measures we use.

If we were to compare a Lit Page with say a paperback pages, how many paperback pages would it take to fill a Lit Page?

If we were to compare a Lit Page with say a paperback pages, how many paperback pages would it take to fill a Lit Page?

Standard answer...*shrug*

Semi-standard answer...Depends on actual size of paperback pages, font style and size, and spacing of words on page.

Not helpful answer...I don't know, but I bet there's someone who'll be along any moment now who has firsthand knowledge of either this information or experts who can find you said information.

 

[logophile]

I've always wondered -
Is a metric fuck ton a wet or a dry measure?

Approximately 330 words fit on the pages of Coming Together. Those are 5x8 pages with *I forget* margins in Century Schoolbook 10pt font. That would make a 1 (full) Lit page story equal just over 10 print pages in an anthology volume.

Of course, a dialogue-heavy story will take more (white) space.

See? Told ya...Any moment now...and I almost said "Ask Imp. But figured that was prolly too much pushing my oracular abilities."

It depends on which standard you use for a paperback page.

An ISO standard A4 page of print usually has about 250 words therefore about 14 ISO standard pages to a Lit page BUT an ISO standard for Fax Machines is different and would be about 25 pages to a Lit page.

There is no standard for a paperback page because that would vary according to the size of the page, which in theory could be say 3 feet by two feet, the point of the typeface, the spacing between the lines, the space around the text, above, below and to the sides and so on.

A good guess would be the 250 words I mentioned above so the answer is still about 14 pages to a Lit page.

So then Colly's novel would be 220 pages. Neat.

Ok, so between 220 and 302 pages. Sound like good enough estimates to me.

What the heck is a cubit?

 

[drksideofthemoon]

42.

Is that Metric or English? How do we convert...say...to furlongs per fortnight squared? <---placement of Smiley taken with painstaking precision.

 

[zeb1094]

And would fathoms be a proper measure for a fortnight in a furlong.

<---- just placed haphazardly

 

[cloudy]

<---- just placed haphazardly

But since 42 is the ultimate answer, would furlongs, fathoms and fortnights even matter?

 

[drksideofthemoon]

It depends if Damppanties used the metric, or English equivalent. To convert I believe one must mulitply by five, then divide by eight and subtract the current price of hog futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange...fathoms@furlongs per fortnight squared takes into consideration the drag coeifficent of 1.02, and assumes an ambient water temperature of 26.7 degrees centigrade at one city block in Shanghai below sea level...

I hope this has helped.---> <--- Smiley placed with laser level, and GPS

but if you then take the probability of the mortaility rate of .000071 and the morbitity rate of 1.233 and then factor in the speed of light you will get the answer to the equation:

x = (C^2 * mr / (mr[1])) / 2^C

or

0.665421234453576565809874234580234872356806224897346

 

[damppanties]

I stand by my poor, lonely 42.

PS: drksideofthemoon, yes, I'm still keeping account of your smileys. You're doing good.

Yup, uhuh..okay...carry the one...yup...take a sip of beer...yup...ok...

By jove I think you've got it! I dunno what it is, but we found the answer...

Well, after the run in with the people from Smileys Anonymous...I have learned that careful, and judicous use is the correct, not too many, and not too few, take the middle path...

What the heck is a cubit?

The distance from the elbow to the tip of the longest finger of a man (about 18 inches).

And would fathoms be a proper measure for a fortnight in a furlong.

No.

thanks, I was looking for that.
