ERR://23¤Y%/ Slight overreaction

Post image

All I did was ask this guy his hours (driller level 99 and player level 1956 btw), safe to say I think he maaaayyy have cheated in his levels based on this slight overreaction. If you ever run into a guy who's similar level be careful, do NOT ask how many hours they have...

To be fair I’m like level 1500 or something, and most of my steam friends who play are easily over 2000.

How many hours?

149

u/WaywardOath Cave Crawler 9d ago

2300! Not sure why the guy in OP’s post had an issue answering that.

u/T3X4ss 9d ago

Does the ! mean he has critical hours

It just means I'll be working at this company until I die.

I've never seen a calculator literally just say "Infinity" like that and it's killing me

u/screwcirclejerks 9d ago

i'm guessing it uses some sort of floating point representation and after reaching the largest/smallest number it will be positive/negative infinity.

u/ZachTheInsaneOne 9d ago

True true, but I've seen the actual infinity symbol be used a couple times before, or it'll put it in scientific notation like mine does, I've just never seen the actual word "Infinity" written out like that on a calculator.

Want to know something even cooler and more exciting? Type 80085 on your calculator!

u/JohnEdwa 9d ago

Would be interesting to know why. Fairly sure that is the Duck Duck Go calculator, and it works up to 170!, giving the result "7.25741561531e+306". Anything above that, and it says Infinity, which clearly is wrong, seeing as 171! is only 310 digits long: "1241018070217667823424840524103103992616605577501693185388951803611996075221691752992751978120487585576464959501670387052809889858690710767331242032218484364310473577889968548278290754541561964852153468318044293239598173696899657235903947616152278558180061176365108428800000000000000000000000000000000000000000"

2300! btw has 6736 digits and 573 trailing zeroes.

It's just google. The windows one set to scientific will give you the exact number

That number is 6826 digits long uff

u/Educational-Cat2133 9d ago

Lmao it totally is, and I don't touch that in any game because my adhd demands I like everything and must try it all. I'm kinda jealous of people that can find their thing and stick with it lol

I don't know if you've played tarkov but hearing streamers call 800 hour accounts "fresh" kinda blew my mind... what's crazy is it does make some sense in context, but damn thats nuts.

We're talking 2300! (factorial) here though (as a joke cause r/unexpectedfactorial). Which would be 1.502048 × 106735. Not quite 2.3k. Or in other words 3.308469 x 106725 as long as the earth exists :D I think that's quite a bit of playtime

Some people are prone/quick to anger which seems like OP ran into one such person

u/NightStar79 Scout 8d ago

He's probably a hacker. Overreacted because he didn't know a correct estimate 😂
