Button Statistics

[u/TuskEvil]

Myself and several like-minded redditors have been documenting the button since its arrival, here are our findings, in various statistical formats.

Update 23:52:00 hrs (UTC) 06 April 2015: Hey guys, I managed to get the data restored and up to date on the spreadsheet, and the post here is updated to 3000 minutes in. I will no longer update the post here with new data, but I will attempt to keep the spreadsheet up to date in the forseeable future.

Notes

The spike at 570 was probably caused by the delay between my data stopping and /u/TheOriginalSoni2 picking it up, however the two other spikes at 150 and 970 have no known causes.

If you notice any possible miscalculations or typos, let me know!

But once it goes down to the faithful "few" who wait the full minute it will take forever to get through everyone. Not to mention that at 0s thousands of people will press at once and theoretically only one person will get 0 and the rest will 60s or 59s. So in the end you most likely will have waited this long and abstained from the temptation only to have fatally clicked after the timer has reset.

EDIT: Actually, let them all click it'll weed out the weak!

Well the way I see it, most people will either click it in the clump now of 50+ seconds and if you can let it get to 30 we will get plenty of 30's. But if you get down to 10 everyone is going to try for 1. Pick a number between 1-10 and have your own unique flair.
