I've got one.

If a clueless newbie starts a topic consisting of 97.8% pure SPAM (no weird white lumps) at 7.00 PM on a Friday when 2012 users are on the SR forums and 1256 of them withtin 5 seconds range on the topic itself. Taking into consideration the fact that the newbie has no grasp of grammer, increasing the time it takes users to understand it's rambling by 0.087 seconds per word, the average post being 3 words long.
A regular takes about 18 seconds to write a reply, 22 if it is quoted, which is 35% of the time.
An average user enjoys insults written by themselves and others for 0.97 seconds per word on each reply.

Using these facts, calculate: (taking into account most user will be eating snaks of some kind reducing word-rate by 65% per annum)

What is the rate of replies recieved?

What percentage of these replies are insulting?

How long will it take before regulars lose interest and are tired of insulting poor little newbies?

This collision will generate the necessary quadbipotic force to frictionally explode the sled's cargo of nitro-glycerine, and gib the dogs. The resulting explosion will spread the dog's remains over a range of no more than 200 metres and the two crews of men will then initiate a break-dancing competition to see who gets to cook and eat the remains with carrots

what the hell are you talking about?

I think in the case of spamming newbies per annum sould easily be amended to per anum :-)

(That was rather clever I thought)
