The Interpreter Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (I've been a bad influence! In law, you do count the first day, but don't count the last day, so the day before there is 1 day left...all day long.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you want to get pedantic about it, then the hours between midnight and 10 am on the 17th would be considered 1 day from it regardless of the hours left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Any news on Tower Gardens and its renovation? Thank you for changing the subject. jcgoble3, facepalming at the previous discussion (if the park hasn't opened yet, then the correct length of time until opening day is always "too long" ) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I saw a picture earlier today showing some concrete being poured near the front of Tower Gardens, unless I was interpreting it wrong. It looked like they were expanding the walkway there on the way toward the new Coca-Cola Marketplace using some of the land that was previously Tower Gardens. Found it, it was actually originally a Tweet from Kings Island, although I saw it through GOCC's Facebook: https://twitter.com/kingsislandpr/status/585121284952043520 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thank you, Magenta Lizard - It makes me wonder how much of the actual 'garden' they are going to keep, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantisMan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looking at Google maps while standing in the approximate area of that photo the only apparent difference is the replacement of the asphalt. The edge of the existing pavers coming out of Tower Gardens can clearly be seen in the posted picture. We'll all know soon enough...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (Can't believe I'm getting drawn into this argument... ) Regarding how many exact days are left, I don't count the actual day as another day. If today was 10 days and not 9, then we would be at 1 more day on the 18th, which to me makes no sense. So that way on the 17th, we'll be at 1 day left, makes more sense. Banshee, just clarifyin'. If you want to be at 1 day left on the 17th, then your current system is at odds with that goal. To wit: To get 1 day left on the 17th, then on the 16th you should have 2 days left. Therefore on the 15th you should have 3 days left. Therefore on the 14th you should have 4 days left. Therefore on the 13th you should have 5 days left. Therefore on the 12th you should have 6 days left. Therefore on the 11th you should have 7 days left. Therefore on the 10th you should have 8 days left. Therefore tomorrow (the 9th) you should have 9 days left. Therefore today (the 8th) it should be 10 days left. This is similar to the math error made by people who say that 2012 was Kings Island's 40th season. Direct subtraction produces a number that counts one, and only one, end. Since that is what you are trying to count, you therefore should not be subtracting an extra day, as then you are counting neither today nor opening day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 For the record, Kings Island has it posted on their Facebook page that there are 10 days left today. Just sayin'. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
