Mine is 89,970,284,195 in proper SI units, and counting. That's the
highest number posted so far, yay!

Drop height in feet. Age in years. Height in inches. Weight in pounds.

Mine is 3,744,900 foot-year-inch-pounds.

Beat that, sissies.
I think you're onto something. However, I belive it should be something more like:

Age / [ (Rider Height / Drop Height) X (Rider Weight / Unicycle Weight) X Time Unicyling ]

Use all of the same units for each of the same measurements and this not only gives you a straight ratio with no units, but it also gives you a much more accurate representation of...something.

You're way I'm 1,037,400 ftyrinlb

My way I'm 3.74

Just seems much tidier.

Hmm... not quite as large a number. I must be doing something wrong.
It's okay that it's only 5.5 inches...the girls are always saying that it's not size, but prowess.

Good. Someone is taking this far too seriously. I feel my work here is done.

But you sure are good at clicking the Reply button.

Back to the original question posed by this thread, I only get 1,165,500 foot-year-inch-pounds. You are right Harper, I am a sissy. A young, stumpy, svelte sissy.

Right now, I think the only factors I can influence that will make much of a difference are drop height and weight. By mid-winter, I should have a better multiplier on the weight side. On drop height, does it need to be one I've landed, or can I count the higher ones where I've chickened out and bailed?

Who's monitoring any of these parameters? Who does for any of these silly threads. Klaas' answer was best because he realized seconds (in true, uniform SI units) would yield a much higher number. People who respond to these silly threads just want to see big numbers. Who's to say that you're not a seven foot tall, 350 pound behemoth? Why can't you be 60 years old? Did anyone need to see you land that twenty foot drop? And better, go Klaas' direction and use the cgs system. Fransisco and Childs are the ones who really saw through it.
