What's your global ranking?

From BBC News: 7 billion people and you: What’s your number?

When I was born, I was the 4,042,952,917th person alive on Earth. Mr. Neville was the 3,911,813,580th. What’s your number?

3,028,387,919th.

Though I wonder how it’s calculated as the time of birth is not asked.

3,612,884,815th

It’s interesting to see how quickly you can deduce someone’s birthday by trying to replicate their answer. MissTake, would you happen to have been born on May 25, 1969?

4,334,182,983rd

3,431,406,588th. Dammit, seems like I’m always 3,431,406,588th for something. :frowning:

3,158,026,567th

2,759,440,179th

All the rest of you - GET OFF MY LAWN!

4,839,584,150th

I’m 3,593,906,144th, as usual.

4,732,188,162nd

I’m 4,993,597,791st. Missed the 5 billion mark by less than a month.

4,798,188,474

I also think we need a strategic nuclear exhange about 2035. Not pretty, but hell drastic measures are needed.

Seems like this is simply telling you the world population on the day you were born, but saying it in a rather cockeyed way.

When it says, “Where do you fit into 7 billion? Enter your date of birth to find out” that implies a ranking of some sort, based on your date of birth, among the 7 billion currently living.

I expected something more along the lines of how many people now living had been born before or after me, which I would have found interesting, rather than simply reminding me that when I was born, there were ~2.7 billion other people in the world, which I already knew.

It does tell you that. I’m the 76,918,416,246th person to have lived since history began.

2,596,023,883

Children! :stuck_out_tongue:

3,314,270,869th.

But I want to know where I rank *now *- There are a lot fewer of those 3,314,270,868 people that were here when I was born. How far do I have to go to be the oldest person on earth?

Yeah, like Rufus Firefly wants.

Beat you ! :- 2,379,543,041

4,535,642,787

I was 4,907,788,533rd.
