What's your P.Q. (Pit Quotient)?

[tshirts]

What’s your P.Q. (Pit Quotient)?
What I like is the idea of a new SDMB statistic to derive.
Should be fun - no offense is intended here.
(My own view- the statistic is meaningless, but still fun to show and tell :D)

Here’s how to calculate it:
Search by your username on all forums, then again on just the Pit.
Divide the first # of threads returned by the second for your ratio.

You should avoid posting in the pit, and also avoid answering people who frequent it.
Calculating a few sample data points of random names:
Democritus, has only 1:34 for pit posts:total posts
You have 1:10
Rysdad 1:8
I have 1:7
waterj2 has 1:6

The advice, then is to feel free to respond to Democritus, when he challenges you, but avoid the other 3**[sup]{should read “the other 4” ?}[/sup]**, who have no qualms about escalating any slight in the pit, where you won’t be talking to one person, but dozens at once. Been there. Learned. Want to warn a guy who did specifically ask.

You learned? Evidently you didn’t, you insufferable little twit.
. . .
Well, you’re on the radar now, you putz. Happy? **

What either one is trying to prove or learn, and whether they actualy have is unimportant here.
Please put comments on that debate into this pit thread:** And here’s another one for you, ShakeNbake**

**My ratio is 1:20, somewhat in the middle of this list.

SO…
WHAT’S YOUR P.Q.?**

[xizor]

I’m pretty low on the scale, 1/58.9333333333

[Ringo]

What a surprise! I thought I’d have a high ratio, but I come in at 1:24. I must have pitted more than I remembered as a newbie, 'cause I rarely venture there now.

[Rysdad]

Hey! Are you dissin’ me?! Okay, me and you tshirts…in the Pit!

Oh, wait, nevermind. I’m sorry. I guess I just can’t help myself.

“Ommmmmmmmmmm.”

[Dijon_Warlock]

Well, that was interesting…1/12.3125. Higher than I expected.

[Kat]

Mine came out to 1:21.134146634146

I’m not positive that’s totally accurate, as I need to use Match Exact to avoid getting posts by other members (e.g. Gr8Kat, KimKatt, etc.) and I’ve heard that Match Exact is sometimes off on postcount/threadcount.

[mblackwell]

mine is about 1:34

[Junior_Spaceman]

Mine is much higher than I thought it would be - I think I opened a couple of stupid Pit threads when I started, but it’s just about a nice round number:

15/149 = close enough to 1:10 (including this one)

I don’t like math, it gives me a headache. I only posted once in the pit so you figure it out.

[Quin_City]

Nope you posted to the pit 2 out of 59 threads, for
1:30

[Quin_City]

I’m 10 pits out of 25 for a stupendous
1 : 2.5

[dragonlady]

Higher than I expected: 30.1875

[imthjckaz]

I think the post in August was my other half (AKA Spidey) She sometimes forgets to clear the cookies before she posts.

[Yue_Han]

1:8.88

including this post.

Damn, that’s a lot.

[AHunter3]

A virtual mirror image of Xizor, I come in at 1:58
OK, 1:58.272727272727 to be precise, and yes that means I’ve been there slightly more often than Xizor.

[magdalene]

Mine is 1:7.

Don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed.

[Little_Nemo]

Mine is 1:20.5, higher than I thought it would be.

[wevets]

Mine is 1:320

Yeesh, maybe I should go down there more.

Or maybe not, I didn’t even swear in the one Pit post I’ve made!

[Roman_Caudle]

My P.Q. is 0

When I looked at the pit list a couple of times, there was nothing I clicked on, so I guess I’m not ever going to post there.

[evilbeth]

Well, mine is 1:12 but I also only get a grand total of 1211 posts by me instead of the current (over) 1800. Deleted posts could alter the results for some people by quite a bit.
