you only have 2 data points so we're talking a linep(w)=mw+p0m=42−5711−6=−155=−342=−3(11)+p0p0=42+33=75p(w)=−3w+750=−3w+753w=75w=2525 weeks until Mimstoon is pibless

Slight correction in Rom's last line

3w=75

w=25 weeks until pib-less.

Come on EP.

Don't you think our guest could have and should have made that correction for him/herself ?

OR they could have asked if it was an error if they were not sure. 

How wonderful it would be if more of these question askers interacted with us.
