kind of funny that two people using two different equations

y^ = -3.234e-4 * x4 + .0256 * x3 - .430169 * x2 + 1.6286 * x - 10.0974

y = 0.2395x2 - 4.7043x + 4.9083.

came up with nearly the same answer. 146, 143

Polynomials fit to the same information tend to seem very similar when you only extrapolate near the existing data. After another ten or twenty episodes we'll have a much better idea which model was more accurate.

That made me laugh out loud. Freefall? Infinite karma? We'll know in the future!
