Interesting stat

Just an interesting stat my AD shared with me yesterday that I thought I’d share:
When the steel pepsi was released at Basel 2018, for the first 4 days after its release, the Rolex site received just over 8,000 hits every single second!

Hard to believe but he was pretty adamant! Not sure where he would have heard such a thing but thought it was interesting to share!

At 3,600 seconds in an hour I make the total number of hits over four months to be about 85 billion. Unlikely I reckon.

He said four days, not four months. If you assume, for global time zone shifts 18hrs per 24hr period of sustained activity thats closer to 2 billion. Just sayin'.

I think he means either a 8000/day or 8000/hour.

8000/second would crash any server without some serious load balancing. I don't even think Amazon could maintain a website with that type of traffic.

He said 4 days not months.... why not recalculate that with your slide rule.

I don’t think it makes much difference since, mathematically speaking:

complete BS x a load of old cobblers = total bollocks regardless of the exact degree of wrongness attributed to any single value.

(Not knocking the OP, rather the AD who pulled the figures out of his arse).

I concur. Google is the busiest website in the World and gets 76 hits per second.
