That is the number of times I have listened to Taylor Swift's newest album, "Speak Now". Given that I only got the album in March is quite extraordinary. I have only had it for 63 days. That means on average I have listened to the whole album, all 67 minutes and 20 seconds, 2.6 times a day since I got it! Despite being perfect 'fire-up' music for frisbee it is also perfect study music.
And since most of my life is spent at my computer, studying (or atleast attempting to research and write my thesis) who knows how many times I will have listened to it by the time I hand in my thesis? In fact I am going to give a prize to the person who guesses the closest number of times that I have listened to this album when I hand my thesis in on October 24. Put your guesses as comments on this post. And come October 24 the closest guess will win. Your prize will be (obviously) a copy of "Speak Now".
(thanks Cat and Mish, this was a fantastic gift)
Too much procrastination - get on with your work!
ReplyDeleteWhat would your mother know. Enjoy the music!! Terry D
ReplyDeleteCan you offer a better prize?
ReplyDeleteNo, there is no better prize possible!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say 18.
ReplyDeleteHere's my reasoning. Working from your calculated averages, you will listen to it 15.6 times in the six days before this weekend. I add an additional 2.4 times because you have a long drive on Friday, so therefore may listen to it for slightly longer than the average. That brings us to a total of 18 times, at which point I will steal the cd out of your car while we're in Sydney, and you will never listen to it again.
Mish, your logic is flawed. If you steal the cd out of my car I will still be able to listen to it on my computer + my ipod + burn a new cd from my computer. So sorry I think your 18 is going to lose. Plus I asked how many times total, so 18 is already 147 times off.
