    Bored here, opened excel, put 100 into cell A1
    in cell B1, I put: =A1-(A1*0.004) (i.e. B1 is the remainder after subtracting 0.4% from A1)
    Copy that down and it takes 1150 weeks to get down to 1 person.
    And 1323 weeks to get below 0.5
    By 3448 weeks you're at 0.000100388

    If you want to hit six sigma, it's 3142 weeks.


    But that's probably not what you're looking for.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            Yeah, all the ones that make him look like a lying moron. Still, he left all the ones that make him look like a regular moron.

              To the end of the world or until the oil runs out?

                  Do it again but this time bearing in mind the original requirement.

                  0.4% do the thing in a week. How long to reach 100%

                      No, now you've gone too far the other way - Not 0.004, it's 0.04%
