Count yourself in

On October 31, the world's 7 billionth person was born. Each of us is part of that population. With the world growing by more than 200,000 people a day, it's hard to know where you fit in. Until now.

Apparently I was number 2,992,054,576

4,838,333,333 for me.

That's a lotta people!

So I was 2,650,468,104 (plus or minus at least a few hundred I would expect).

So should we set a time limit for this thread and see who of all who post the result has the largest and smallest number?

Try a few hundred thousand

I was thinking (which can be dangerous) If down through history there had never been any wars how many billion more would there be.

Hmmm, I was number 42

Off topic, but an auspicious birthday to anyone who turns 63 today.

Yes, but like “Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker” - Ogden Nash, war is fine, but it is famine and disease that are the real heroes in population control.

Damn, you and your contemporaries really went forth and multiplied.

It would also seem to be a possibility that some member here could have been born before the 2 billion mark was passed in 1926. Not likely, but not out of the realm of possibility.

I feel so median at 3,211,604,112. Middle child syndrome and that sort of thing. Mathematically rounding off to almost half of 7 billion.

I was number 3,436,681,678. But how did it know that I was born in Western Australia? Which may have been a different day from whatever time clock the site was on. And they didn't ask the time. Loads of babies were born on that day!

I am going back to have another go and see if I get the same number..

So was it the same?

3,436,681,678

What about the baby on the news born at 11:11 yesterday. The 11th of the 11th twenty eleven. Also, plenty of wedding vehicles seen yesterday just like the 10th of October last year.

I don't really think so, think of all the people who would have died under the rulers that war brought down.
