The distance is vastly exaggerated in his calculations. You can’t just distribute evenly across the globe. People mostly live in big cities
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
Yeah, but he underestimates the area of the earth by a factor of four
ieatkittensforfun
Yea wtf is 1.4km between houses. There isn't 1.4 meters between most in cities
Coyote8
It's an average to determine total distance travelled. My issue is with the reindeer, they're magical so the weight doesn't matter.
Sefren
That's exactly what I was thinking. Cannon is 13 reindeer, stick that or else why not say more than 1 Santa can operate, too
Coyote8
Also, Santa uses a magic space bag that opens to another dimension or as a portal to his warehouse where elves dole out the gifts.

Um sorry, 15% of 2 billion is not 3 billion.... its 300,000,000.. Also not all those are good kids, also, its magic. Science doesn't apply.
SlyeFox
In reference to the billion thing, they might be using long numbers; Million-1,000,000, Milliard-1,000,000,000, Billion-1,000,000,000,000.
mds308
And what about tonnes. Was this referring to Tonnes Loc ?
iSoulend
A tonne is what americans calls metric ton, it's 1000kg. While the american ton is 2000pounds (907kg) and uk ton is 2240pounds (1016kg)
mds308
Pssst. It was a joke.
flashtata82
There are a little less than 9 billion people on Earth. If 2 billion are children, you also can't assume all of them celebrate Christmas.
flashtata82
Shit!! I meant 8 billionish. Fuck me, my students would be disappointed.
flashtata82
So given that the world is about 1/3 Christian, maybe we say 40% of kids celebrate Christmas. 400,000,000ish kids. Also
flashtata82
The fertility rate of the world, which is the amount of live birth per woman in a life time, is around 2. So I feel like saying...
flashtata82
3.5 children per household isn't correct either... I am just dubious to believe that these numbers are correct...
flashtata82
Also none of the math applies anyway, because santa is magic!

Ive run the calculations back a few times and it all checks out for me. Not sure what you’re doing wrong

The math fixes itself (somehow) when you divide 300,000,000 kids by 3.5 kids/household and get 87 million households like they do

An error in translation between eastern and western counting systems. They use commas every two digits instead of three.
unknownusernamenotknown
Different countries have different values that equal a billion. In America 1 billion is 1000 million, some places 1 billion is 1million 1/2
unknownusernamenotknown
Millions. So 1000 000 000 vs 1000 000 000 000.
LurkerOfDarkness
It's in fact only in english you have 1000 million = 1 billion. Another weird thing where it's english that is the odd one out.
unknownusernamenotknown
Even Britain used to have it that way. I think they swapped over though?
Morteh
Yes we've switched to a billion being 1,000,000,000. We used to call that amount a milliard and a billion was 1,000,000,000,000.

Only in English a billion is 1,000,000,000; in other languages that's just a thousand millions. A billion here would be 1,000,000,000,000
TheN8
1,000,000,000 IS a thousand million. Look - 1,000 & ,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 = 1 Billion.
PresidentProTempore
That makes even less sense because there aren't even a trillion people on earth.
Juicytoast
I'm still confused, how does 1 thousand millions equal 1 trillion?
PresidentProTempore
It's not. The commenter messed up. Billion in English would be 1000 million. 1 trillion is million million (or 1 billion in other languages)
xizar
Like in spanish, 1e9 would be read as "a thousand millions" and then 1e12 would be read as "a billion". (wiki "long and short code")
gtotherizzle
Language barriers don't affect math....math is a universal language, it's why science can cross boundaries

It's a notational thing, dude. It's fine. In this case, blame the translator.

HsuDoNihm
aigisandroid says: It says 20 ‘oku’. 1 ‘oku’ is 100,000,000, so 20 ‘oku’ is 2,000,0000,000. Japanese has a different counting system.
