So I'm working on this paper of doom.
It involves math. I haven't done math for a really really long time.
And I am not good at it.
This same paper caused the ugh spiral the other day.
Its about the total amount of methane that could be produced from animal waste in Iceland.
My first math mistake was a complete fuck-up of decimal points. I turned .071 into 71%.
My next series of mistakes made the percentage into 18%.
After correcting that, I got what I thought was a more realistic number of roughly 8%.
But that was based on the average methane production of sheep versus dairy cattle.
See, sheep poo produces about 10% more methane than cow poo. Simple really. Just up the cow poo figures by 10%.
Which is what I did. But noooooooooo.
See, I forgot that the total amount of poo produced per sheep is a hell of a lot less than that shat forth by the average 1000 pound plus dairy cow.
So now I have to do the math over.
For like the 5th time.
Shit.
