Time for some fun with math:
I am at exactly 12,000 pages read for the year including my current book progress which is 1/2 of my 24,000 page goal. Today is also the 146th day of the year. This makes for some very interesting math (to a math nerd at least.)
% Year Complete: 146/365 = 40%
Current pages: 12,000 pages
Projected additional pages: 12,000 * (( 1 - 0.4) / 0.4 ) = 18,000 pages
Projected total pages: 12,000 / 0.4 = 30,000 pages
I have never seen such round numbers for my totals before. It looks like I am just rounding numbers aggressively.
