Hold on a second! A clarification in this post must be made. There are eleven
(11) people in the picture and eleven (11) people named in the effort.
That means that 11 people completed the ISD build in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 28
seconds not 10. Is this true?
If true, that means this effort had 11 participants. Analyzing the effort I
break the record down into per-person time units and discover the following:
A record of 1 hour 2 minutes and 28 seconds is equivalent to 3748 seconds of
time. Divide 11 builders by 3748 seconds yields 0.0029 builders per seconds
The previous record of 1 hour 9 minutes and 22 seconds is 4162 seconds and
dividing 10 builders by 4162 seconds yields a 0.0024 builders per second ratio.
Clearly, 0.0024 is smaller than 0.0029 and therefore faster than this attempt.
If we were to factor in this attempt with the builders per second speed acheived
by the BrickFest PDX record, then this group with their 11 person should have
acheived a time of 4583.3 seconds or 1 hour 16 min and 23 seconds (11 men
divided by 0.0024). Obviously, by using the 11th man, the latest attempt had an
unfair 11th man advantage providing for 14 min in additional speed.
If we examined this using the man hour analysis we see that the BrickFest PDX
attempt was still faster. In the 11 man attempt each person accounted for 340.7
seconds of the overall time (obtained by dividing 3748 seconds by 11 and assumes
each person contributed equally). This equates to 5.678 minutes per man or
0.0946 man hours. The previous record attempt equated to 416.2 seconds per man
or 0.1156 man hours.
While this second figure is bigger, realize that the 11 man and the 10 man
groups performed the same task and we must account for the 11th man in the
latest record attempt. If we subtract the 11th man’s contribution, we must
recaculate the record attempt. To do so, I add the 11th man’s time portion to
the overall time acheived by the 11 person group. This time, 340.7 seconds added
to the record of 3748 seconds becomes 4088.7 seconds or 1 hour 8 min and 8
seconds.
While this time is faster than the BrickFest PDX attempt on the surface, any
good mathmatician knows that you must perform the same function to both sides of
the equals sign, so we must also subtract the 11th man’s contribution from the
overall time of the PDX record to determine how fast they could have gone with
the 11th man. To be fair we use the man hours average of the 10 person PDX
record of 416.2 seconds per man. The 1 hour 9min 22 second time now becomes
3745.8 seconds or 1 hour 2 min and 25.8 seconds.
Obviously, the BrickFest PDX record still stands, when you consider the
contribution of the 11th man in this last attempt.
Sorry fellows, I guess we will just have to asterix this 11 man attempt as a
nice try.
