Sitting on the John, I started wondering, how many other people in the world might be pooping right now?

Question

I wonder how many people at any given moment on average and what percentage of all people in the world on average it is?

I wonder what all the variables involved would be given cultural norms, average health conditions, psycological issues, number of people alive on average... This might be a difficult question to really find an accurate answer to... I dunno. Maybe you could get me a simple estimate or a more complex estimate... you choose.

Thanks for your thoughts... :)

Answer 1

Well, assume 6.5 million people.  I'd say I spend 10 mins every other day on the john; so 5 mins out of every 24 hours on average.  That's 1/288th of the day.  6500000000/288 = 22,569,444.

So something on the order of twenty million other people taking a dump at the same time you are.

Answer 2

You should organise a phone survey.

Just you.

Answer 6

The government and other agencies have been working hard to suppress this growing movement, but now that the cat is out of the bag they can't stop "THE GROUP p**p"!
