Every one suddenly getting interested in concurrency and coroutines might make 'that concept' a meme. But in this case, the odds should follow the logic of Birthday Paradox. (like how many people should be in a classroom so that you have more than 50% chance of atleast two people sharing the same birthday. The Answer in 23). In a hypothetical scenario, if all bangpypers were watching only python videos on a particular day, we have more than 50% chances of having ANY two watching the same video is like this: n(n-1)/2 = V Where n is number of bangpypers and V is the number of Python videos. Trying some actual numbers. If there are 200 bangpypers, there is there is more than 50% chance of two people watching the same video if number of python videos are 19900. Wow! That's pretty high. :) -- Senthil If you keep anything long enough, you can throw it away. _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
