I just did the math, and, if we consistently counted at the rate of one count every 20 seconds, we could reach 6 mil by the end of this year.

By my rough math, we've counted at a rate of about 1 count per 280 seconds since Jan 1.

So at the current rate we'll reach 6m around Thanksgiving 2029?

Probably slightly earlier. My (non-math-based) opinion is that we'll reach 6m around March 2027.
