Best Game Eva' - Let's Calculate Gross Tonnage of Imaginary Ships!
 

If you've seen my posts around some of the threads, you should know that I can only play here during the day on my phone. And really more in the afternoon.

Part of my new hobbies are perusing random Wikipedia articles. I stumbled upon this gem and decided it will be great to make a game out of it. :D

If you need further help then what I'm about to provide, please go to:

After you answer, you will need to supply the next ship's volume in cubic meters for the next person to take a turn. :wow

-----------------------------------------

So here's how to play:

Player before you will give "V" which again is the ship's total volume in cubic meters (m³).

First you then need to find "K" which is a multiplier based on the ship volume. This is calculated with a formula which uses the common or base-10 logarithm:

K = 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(V)

Once V and K are known, gross tonnage is calculated using the formula, whereby GT is a function of V:

GT = K × V

So since the "player" before me gave me 10,000 for "V", I'm now ready to go.

Step 1
K = 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(V)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(10,000)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × 4
= 0.2 + 0.08
= 0.28


Step 2

GT = K × V
= 0.28 × 10,000
= 2,800

The answer is 2,800...WOO!! :spin:

Alright yo, let's find the GT of a ship with a volume of 69,000 cubic meters! :D

Step 1
K = 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(V)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(69,000)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × 4.839
= 0.2 + 0.0968
= 0.2968


Step 2

GT = K × V
= 0.2968 × 69,000
= 20,479

The answer is 20,479...WOO!! :spin:

Alright yo, let's find the GT of a ship with a volume of 30,000 cubic meters! :D

Me thinks you desperately need to get well and truly laid. ;-)

Are you offering? :lurk

Even better would be a Sybian, my boyfriend and the fortune to never have to leave my house. :luv

*cough* You forgot to give V for the next person. *cough*

You forgot the capital Q.

That's your game.

I've given up hope of anyone continuing with my "delicate" prompt. :(

That's why I had to make this one. :)

Well, I'm not going to play my game. It's stupid. but your game makes my brain hurt.:(

It's actually super easy if you have the tools.

Like this here handy dandy log 10 calculator. ;)

It needs a Q.
