L&P: Quote 10.29.21 - PatreonThanks for the stats, However one statement that I don't understand is
"IMO, he should have been able to translate v0.150 in about a week, when you do the comparison."
If 43 pages took 23 days then simple maths says that 27 pages at that same speed should take around 14.5 days. I don't know how you reached the figure of one week. Your math doesn't add up

Because he said a minimum of 2 to 2.5, let's use 2.3 pages per day. 43 pages / 2.3 pages per day = 19 day and 27 pages / 2.3 pages per day = 12 days with a translator. I used a week because of previous comments that he was working between 12-16 hours based on the previous comments on hours worked by him, and his translator/proofreader, from my understanding, was 7-8 hours behind his timezone. So the thought is that he worked on coding or other things related to the novel until his translator was available to translate using 12-16 hours.
Based on how close the P&T are in days between v0.130 and v0.150, IMO, he didn't work the same type of hours and that he possibly work fewer hours and for what reasons, I could not tell you. But anyone looking at the data should know 6 pages over half the pages of v0.130 shouldn't have been that close in days.
