Surely you need to put in the time you were born to be a little more accurate. :wink: This is basically choosing a random number in the billions and claiming that is you. More chance of getting the Euromillions lottery numbers correct tonight than getting this right.

I don't seriously believe that every birth is always recorded in every village on this massive globe - gimmick.
I spent time in Northern Uganda earlier this year and they are light years away from the western civilisation we are familiar with.

I was thinking exactly the same. However couldn't help but do it.

Also, as others have mentioned, not every birth is recorded around the world so there is no chance this is accurate!

if you put in 18-10-1987 and then 19-10-1987, you skip past the rounded 80 billion mark, so I doubt we'll get any rounded values at all as they're such broad jumps.

It can't be anything like accurate. I doubt it's correct within 100,000.

I've come back home.
"Both numbers have been calculated using UN Population Division figures. The first is an estimate of how many people were alive on your date of birth. It is one possible value based on global population figures and estimates of growth rates over time. Data before 1950 is less accurate than figures after that date. The second number includes calculations based on the methodology of scholar Carl Haub, who estimated how many people had been alive since 50,000 B.C. His calculation has been amended by the UN to include additional points in time"

When you were born, you were the:
4,306,173,582nd
person alive on Earth
78,811,837,121st
person to have lived since history began

Ten billion people by 2050. All consuming resources, wanting food, water and jobs - and pumping out CO2 24/7 by the mere fact they exist ...
