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!
