I didn't guess. I saw it somewhere else on the site. I think JJJ was going on about it in some other section.

Danm straight.

I came up with the formula, alex came up with the data it was a joint effort.

I cant give away too much but it has alot to do with words per page, and total pages.

So about 100 pages with 100 words each would be around the same as 10,000 pages with one word each?

Yeah.. I nearly forgot about links. It wouldn't be a lengthy game with ten thousand links but only ten thousand and one pages.

Here's the deal, you just need to make a buch of pages and a bunch of links.  It would probably take a few months of actual work.  I cheat the length formula (by making a 1-page map that's in theory, a lot of pages).
