I am curious about the worldwide population of FEers so statistics relative to the population and the site stats can be used to determine a reasonable number.
Variables for the calculation:
1. World population 6,800,000,000.
2. Number of world internet users 2,000,000,000.
3. World population not on internet 4,800,000,000
4. CIA World Factbook of world?s population below 15 years of age is around 27%.
5. World population not on internet adjusted for over age of 15 - 3,504,000,000
6. Number of site members 14661
7. Yearly hits to TFES 300,000 (est.)
8. Fraction of world internet that has visited TFES .00015
9. Fraction of flat earth believer per site stats. (1/14661) = .0000682081713
10. Fraction of TFES visitors that become members 14661/300,000 =.04887
11. Number of world internet users that haven?t visited TFES 1,999,700,000
OK down to the basics.
FE internet population who haven?t visited site 1,363,958
FE world population not on the internet 2,390,014
FEers worldwide 3,753,972 (does not include applicable TFES members so this number will be higher). This is only an estimate and is probably way too low so I will double check the numbers.
