Also, if you give me a scoring formula, it'll be relatively straightforward to run the results with it to see what difference it makes.

Oberbrunner seems to be estimating 10% of the world's population are having sex in your area, right now! Seems punchy. Is he scandinavian/french/[insert stereotype here]?

EDIT: actually not sure which is more symptomatic of a cry for help: booker (no one is having sex) or Ober (everyone is having sex (but me))

Scores so far:

Amplify 63
InDHeart 58
Iversonian 58
Always Folding 55
RTSpurs 53
E_Holle 52
OberBrunner 51
Xander Biscuits 50
Chachi Arcolo 50
JMurder3 49
Eyebooger 48
DarkMagus 46
Arctic Knight 46
Booker Wolfbox 42
Precept2 39
Aaronk56 34

It always warms my heart to see someone blow up an otherwise promising entry with a joke answer. NH Booker. But AaronK slipped up a little, too and it's closer.

This. Also, I thought the singularity was when the universe constricts back to the size it was before the Big Bang

Aaah, no, it's when the Artificial Intelligences become sentient and melt down us meatspace 'intelligences' to make more transistors.
