Counting to 1,000,000

-1 + 6 - 0 * (8 - 6) = 5

Yeah, that's a bit too much. But I could just get there by bike or something if I really wanted to.

If I were to drive to Finland on my moped (assuming I'd be averaging a modest 30 km/h instead of the 50 km/h my moped is capable of) it would take me about 60 hours to get there. (2000 km / 30 kph = 60 H)

Assuming that I can drive 10 hours a day, because I need 8 to sleep, and the other 6 for brakes and finding a place to sleep / prepare food it would take me about 6 days to get there.

However, the distance is about 2000 kilometers, and my moped likely has a mileage of 1/55. (maybe higher, but given that I'm carrying a lot of weight, I'll assume lower) So, 2000 / 55 = ~36 litres worth of fuel.

The fuel prices in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany are comparable, at around 1.40 euro per litre. 1.40 x 36 = 50.4 euros spend on fuel for one trip.


Conclussion: Meh.

EDIT: that's not what I wanted to calculate. I'm stupid.

Oh, right! That was what I was gonna do!

Helsinki to Zevenaar is about 1800 kilometers. The average human walking speed is 5 km/h, but since we're talking about long distance hiking, depending on the person, this could be realistically upped to 7. 1800 km / 7kmh = ~257 hours.

Assuming that you'll be carrying a lot of weight for food / water / clothes / tent, etc. I'd realistically say that someone could maintain that for about 6 hours each day.

257 hours / 6 hours per day = a little more than 42 days.

Soo, just a little over a month, and you'd be there!

-1 - 6 + 0 * 8 + 7 = 0

I don't think anyone wants to walk for two and a half months just to be on a convention for three days...

I think going on a long distance hike and then walking only 6 hours a day would be a waste of time

Knowing me right, it'd take me at least twice that long.
And that's if I'm being nice. >->

I'd say planes are the best option...

[Michen_S]

-1 + 6 - 0 - 8 + 7 = 2

I imagine you'd have trouble hiking for more than 6 hours a day if you do it for 6 weeks straight anyways. You only have so much energy...

[HellEye]

I guess. But then...
Do you just sit somewhere for 10 hours?
That's kinda... Boring.

What's the new dfc theme by the way?
I mean... I still probably can't go this year but cool to know

[Michen_S]

1 * 7 - 0 - 8 + 7 = 6   <160876

You asked last year, remember? It's pirates!
Though I don't think I'll be able to get the replacement for the fursuit before 30 June...

Taking a plane would make too much sense.

[HellEye]

Oh yea.
Well, at least it's not some cool magical fantasy theme cuz then I'd be very upset o missed that.
What's the replacement?

[Michen_S]

1 * -6 - 0 + 8 + 7 = 9

Okay, I found a fursuit maker that also made furry hoodies. So that got me thinking, maybe I could combine fursuit parts or even a partial with a hoodie and do like that. There's less overheating, it's less expensive, all the good stuff. It only has one huge disadvantage, so I need to think that choice through if I want to continue that plan.
