err yep >>A total of 14.26 lakh students were appearing for the exams at 1,217 centres in the state.<<
<DocScrutinizer05>
wonder how the 0.26 students looked like
<wpwrak>
1 lakh = 100 k :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
LOL
<DocScrutinizer05>
how did you find out? I was about to post "no, it's lakh examinees"
<wpwrak>
at least it's a power of ten, unlike all those fancy pre-metric units. i think pretty much every word in the english language also serves as some sort of unit. latest discoveries: lug, rod, aka 1/320 mile.
<wpwrak>
"dict lakh" :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
so you assume lakh is an english word?
<wpwrak>
a word "dict" recognizes :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
I rather thought it got not translated just _because_ dict or babel or google translate wasn't able to find an english word for it
<wpwrak>
naw, in indian text (in english) you often find such local terms mixed in
<DocScrutinizer05>
weird shit, weird indians
<DocScrutinizer05>
you know what's ridiculous? the cccamp calculates a 2.5 MEGAwatt for the camp
<DocScrutinizer05>
that's about the maddest thing I heard of, last 20 years
<DocScrutinizer05>
they're getting 8 aggregates, which they allegedly need to stop once every 24h to refill them
* DocScrutinizer05
stares in disbelief
<wpwrak>
hmm, computers, lighting, lots of people ...before you know it, you have a few MW
<DocScrutinizer05>
no way
<wpwrak>
(refill) so there will be rolling blackouts ? :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<wpwrak>
if they're unannounced and take hours, then it'll be just like home :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
sorry! they want to limit it to 30 min
<DocScrutinizer05>
insane. I never heard of the necessity to shut down an aggregate of that class for refilling it
<DocScrutinizer05>
I also never heard some event was calculated with a 500W/person continuous power consumption
<wpwrak>
maybe they're overly cautious
<DocScrutinizer05>
I rather think they're nuts
<DocScrutinizer05>
for regular power grid you calculate a 100kW for a 100 flats, due to concurrency factor
<DocScrutinizer05>
for a single flat you calculate 10 to 15kW
<DocScrutinizer05>
honestly less than 1% of visitors will bring electric appliances that need more than 100W
<DocScrutinizer05>
*average*
<DocScrutinizer05>
even hairdryers don't count since they have a on/off ratio of <0.001
<DocScrutinizer05>
and AirCons are sold out in whole Germany recently, so I massively doubt we will see more than 10 of them on whole camp
<DocScrutinizer05>
I guess some jackass simply added some random MAXIMUM power numbers from datasheets
<DocScrutinizer05>
I bet the load on those generators will be ~1% amd they run with an efficiency of max 10% due to that, burning ten times more fuel than needed
