      metric is great until you need to do anything practical with it like converting cricket chirps to degrees /s

    How do you count just one cricket’s chirps? There are usually tons of them.

      Everyone counts their own crickets and then you add the results together.

    …or count the chirps in 8 seconds and add 4.

    Why am I taking 25seconds and dividing by 3? Accuracy?

      If you count only for 8 seconds, it will be inaccurate, you need to count for 8 and 1/3 seconds!

        How did you count negative chirps?

          Negative occurrences are imaginary numbers, and reading about crickets caused me to imagine hearing them.

            How many crickets did you imagine? I want to make sure the maths works out.
