I did it the old fashion way using my brain. It doesn't say exact date so lets give him benefit of the doubt and say was Feb 1st, 2008. So based on that as its Jan 5th, 2016 so not including the end date. It would translate to 7years 11months 4days or 2895 days total.
ROUNDED: 27,000 posts % 2895 days = 10 posts/per day
You have my gratitude for breaking up my routine of correcting your language to instead correct errors in your arithmetic, or rather its attempted proof. First, I'll show you one correct approach.
Since these dates are close to each other, you could just start with 8 years minus 27 days, but then add 2 days because of the occurrence of leap years (Feb 2008 and Feb 2012).
8 × 365 – 27 + 2 = 2895
You could use weeks or years to accurately calculate the number of days, but to propose that you can use a multiple of months would be erroneous. Let me show you the error in the proof you tried to provide (all rounded to the nearest integer).
7 * 365 + 11 × 30 + 4 = 2889
7 * 365 + 11 × 30.4 + 4 = 2893
7 * 365.25 + 11 × 30.4 + 4 = 2895
The third calculation, which factors in the quarter of a day we bank each year and the average days of the month, may seem correct, but an offset of the dates or too few months would force an error. You fail to demonstrate a grasp of these nuances in your explanation. This leads me to conclude that you used a method that doesn't require any calculations on your part, but then you tried to reverse engineer with the goal of tricking an audience into believing you're capable of something that simple. It was rather transparent given the lack of critical thought.
Lastly, the conventions for division are to use a forward slash in place of the division symbol. The division symbol, ÷, can be produced using the Alt code Alt+0247. There is no standard convention for using the percent symbol for division. It has one use in programming, in which it is used to return the remainder of a quotient, but that's hardly equivalent.
Furthermore, if you divide 27,000 by 2895, that gives 9.3 (to two significant digits), which would round to 9 posts/day rather than 10 posts/day because you'll want to round down if the subsequent digit is less than 5. If you calculated 9.5, you could round that up to 10 as the nearest integer.
I started this post expressing gratitude, but I take that back. Your arithmetic is rife with errors, and I don't want to encourage you to give me more knots to comb.
This is all pretty simple math, but you seem to ask for credentials for the simplest of things. I have developed equations for quantifying the hemispherical migration of redox species to a nanoscale active surface based on varying sheath diameters, active surface recession, and active surface protrusion. They're useful for determining whether your ultramicroelectrode can be considered planar (disk) or not. A widely used equation already existed for planar ultramicroelectrodes, so the point is to compare predicted currents against those of a recessed and protruded profile to validate the electrode's fabrication.
Wake up people. This probably helped like a half a dozen people. Oh, academia, you've got the charm.
