We've exceeded my target: 14641. Well done everyone!

Why 14641, you ask.

Well, simply because it's 11x11x11x11.

Isn't that more thrilling than 15 with a string of zeros after it.

On the other hand I love perfect numbers: 6,28, 496, 8128...

I thought the next perfect number might be a good one for us to aim for,

but unfortunately its a bit out of our reach by tomorrow, since it's 33550336.

(in case you're still reading this irrelevant post and are wondering, a perfect number is the sum of its divisors: 1+2+3=6, 1+2+4+7+14=28 and so on.)

Excellent :). We just need NICE to be swayed by your compelling argument now Trish ;).

That is a very negative attitude you are displaying there @trishrhymes :p........have you considered a course of CBT for it? If it can defeat ME, it will surely make 33 and a half million votes seem possible by tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, its 14 891 ..:nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous::nervous::aghhh:

Keep going folks. :hug::thumbsup:

111 votes needed :wide-eyed:

Maybe we could apply a bit of PACE-style processing to the data to get our chosen result?

can international plp vote?

I think it would be perfectly reasonable to allow anyone who has ME/CFS (or cares for someone with ME/CFS), and has taken an interest in the NICE guideline on ME/CFS, to sign this MEA petition.

This is because NICE guidelines are referred to all over the world - so they do influence how countries outside the UK proceed with guidance and recommendations on the management of ME/CFS.
