These equations proudly brought to you by my $300 doller caculator 

I can do it with my 100 dollar one. Have you thought of a quadratic equation might be a better fit? Probably will once we get more data.

Bow down to my o mighty powerful touch screen caculator that you can play games on and with a screen bigger than the nintendo dsi's, it's awesome.

I did think of a quadratic equation but the linear equation had a relationship of 0.9999 which is almost perfect and a quadratic equation would be something like 0.001

Bow down to the power of paper.

Yes! The increase went by 2,000! Let me calculate...

My calculations show it will take:
40.548979382500769309672786952508 weeks(without inflation)

Which is about..
10 months...

Or around October 3rd, 2010.

Well, so far it's looking like it will be about a year....

Old linear equation: number of projects = 7820 x weeks + 550380 , with very strong relationship of 0.99998869 out of 1.

New linear equation: number of projects =  7961.9428 * weeks + 565821.53 ,with still a very strong relationship of 0.9984846 . This shows that the linear equation is increasing and so it is a quadratic or exponetial graph.

I've done a quadratic one here it is. remember it's y = ax^2+bx+c

Number of projects = 117.76785*weeks^2 + 7137.5678*weeks + 566920.7 <--- this seems very possible. That means week 37.6 there will be over 1 million projects. That means by the 21st of August 2010 there will be over 1 million projects.

I wish I were that good at math. XD

You don't have to be a geek to do that.

With my caculator there's almost no maths involved (mental). Just enter the data into a table then select "calc" then press what I want. Which was "linear reg" and "quadratic reg" and copy out the results. Then go the the graph it made and trace for 1 million projects. Very easy to do and being touch screen, I can do it very fast.

if we had TONS of new users that were like Doody and they upload a ton of projects everyday then our rates would skyrocket.     

*watching* this looks very interesting.

Update! Added week 8 data and an increase chart! 

awesome 

week 9 

I predict a massive spike this week. It is Christmas week after all.

Ten weeks! 

As predicted by markyparky56, a smaller increase.
