 topic explains it all: I was looking at my creator stats and it says "5 out of 10 moomins have download your blah blah blah" What in the world is a moomin? I googled and I came up with these strange creatures from a swedish cartoon  That can't possibly be right.... even if we do have a strange sense of humor  Just curious Edit: After refreshing I found out that the stat changes to other beasts  I still don't understand what exactly that stat is though so could someone explain?

Oh, but it is right! Sometimes, I get penguins and dramallamas and doozers. MTS is a very diverse community. I happen to be a cat, so why not moomins too? On the internet, no one knows you're a moomin. doozers  . |

Okay, so imagine you have 10 moomins, and you put them all on computers connected to MTS, and told them they could download whatever they want. Now imagine someone stood behind those moomins, and every time they downloaded something then a note was made on a little clip board saying which download it was. The "5 out of 10" statistic would mean that, out of those ten moomins who were participating in the experiment, five of them chose to download your 'blah blah blah'. Of course, it's not always so straightforward. It could just as easily be that there were actually twenty moomins, and ten of them chose to download your 'blah blah blah'. I know, that sounds like crazy talk, but if you really think about it, it makes sense. That's because for every ten moomins who were on MTS, five of them downloaded the 'blah blah blah'. It just happened that there were two lots of ten moomins alltogether, and two lots of five moomins who downloaded your 'blah blah blah'. It all comes down to fractions. You see, 5/10 is, mathematically, the same as 10/20. Try it on a calculator, you'll see it's true! It's also the same as 2/4 or 1/2. Fascinating! So to summarize, that statistic is saying that, of all the moomins given free reign on your MTS downloads, approximately half of them will choose to download your 'blah blah blah'. That's a pretty damn good rate, so clearly your blahs appeal strongly to the moomin demographic. Congratulations! I am forced to wonder though... What are they teaching kids in math these days? |

I once watched a Moomin cartoon on TV, and read a book about them, they're cute. |

This thread is made of win and pancakes. Served by moomins. I think Echo needs a cookie achievement... and Buzzler too. |

Tumblr - Yes, I have a blog. :) <Corsix> Why 'mod the sims 2' when you can mod 'mod the sims 2'? Story books are full of fairy tales, of Kings and Queens, and the bluest skies. |

Buzzler's already got one. I think we need some sort of uber-cookie, for current cookie-holders. |

How many sociologists are generous enough, when discovering a new subculture, to name it after someone else and not themselves? For that alone, Echo should get mad props. * trots off to see Buzzler's cookie achievement * |

I have a question: how do coelacanths use a computer, so they can do statistics about them? They would wet the computer and then it would explode. Or do they use special computers for fishes? |

Special drysuits with keyboard manipulators? Or they ask their moomin friends to hit the thanks button for them maybe? |

Ah yes, the simple solution is often best! Would that help with cats knocking over one's soymilk as well? Whiterider Terry Pratchett books are one of the reasons life is worth living! |
