Humans Will Be Outnumbered By Lego Minifigures

Today we feature some cool maths sent to us from Ajarn Jon.

There is so much mathematics in the world of humanities and here is a cool graph of humans and lego humans.

By 2019, Humans Will Be Outnumbered By Lego Minifigs - Gizmodo


From Gizmodo, where Ajarn Jon found this (it looks like it may have originated from XKCD):
Since their introduction in 1978, Lego's Minifigs have, um, reproduced at a rapid rate. In fact, the toymaker has been making the little fellas at such a pace that they'll outnumber humans by 2019.
As of 2006, there were 4 billion Minifigs in the world; projecting forward both human and Lego populations suggests that tiny plastic men will outnumber us by 2019. Imagine that: a world where there are more Minifigs than fellow homosapiens. That's our kind of world. [XKCD]
