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.

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

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

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!!

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

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!!

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

Are you offering?

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

*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.

Step 1
K = 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(V)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × log10(42,000)
= 0.2 + 0.02 × 4.623
= 0.2 + 0.0925
= 0.2925


Step 2

GT = K × V
= 0.2925 ×42,000
= 12,285

The answer is 12,285...WOO!!

Alright yo, let's find the GT of a ship with a volume of 21,000 cubic meters!

Will it be half of my answer? I don't know and can't wait to find out!

FYI, This game is really brought to you by a miserable cock blocking bitch and for once I'm not talking about me.

6015.33210379

Not exactly half, but pretty damned close.

Let's try 67,432.

This Gross Tonnage would be 19,999.

It was pretty close to the first example I gave, so at least my math skills are still on point all these years later.

1,000,000 credits to whoever correctly gets the answer for V=450,000
