Death Impends 7,953 Posted November 3 Just need to update TTL and List of the Missed for October now... Excel is getting gremlins when I tried to refresh the TTL data (this is an issue with my personal Excel, rather than DDP) so going to take a breather rather than stress myself out troubleshooting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excel's usual method is still not working for me but I found a work around. TTL up to date along with LotL/M, as always any names I missed let me know. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Grimace 359 Posted November 7 On 03/11/2024 at 15:06, Ulitzer95 said: How many hits short of the record are we now? EDIT: 37 apparently. Will definitely be done. A quick check of the numbers backs this up. At the time of the quote, the number of hits was 275. The current record is from 2023 with 312 hits. 2024 is already on the podium in third for number of hits at 279 on day 312 (nice coincidence) of 366. Recall that two DDP years used are leap years (2024 and 2020). 2024 will certainly pass second ranked 2022 with 280 hits. Table of yearly hits organized by decending total; only years with 200+ hits given. Spoiler Year Total 2023 312 2022 280 2024 279 2020 278 2021 275 2016 275 2017 254 2019 253 2018 247 2014 247 2015 239 2013 219 The daily hit rate in 2024 is above the rate of 2023. 2023 was high above the average daily hit rate of the previous three years (~0.76 hits/day). Spoiler Year Rate Hits Day of year 2024 0.894 279 312 2023 0.855 312 365 2022 0.767 280 365 2021 0.753 275 365 2020 0.760 278 366 With 54 days remaining and the estimated daily hit rate of 2024, it gives a new total of 327. If a lower hit rate from 2020-2022 is used, it is still a record at 320. Seems certain to be a record setting year.

The majority of people disagree with you. If it bothers you this much then go and create your own deadpooling website. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
