Or you could do what Nathan did, and read the promotional material which gives you the (most likely, expected) answer:

Erm sure, but when you're faced with an IT first-year at O-Day, who wants to challenge your marketing-derived calculation, how are you going to back it up? :)


Plus, like Nige said, there are overheads and such, so you want to prove that 1,000 is a conservative figure ... maybe explain how or why MP4 codecs are more efficient than MP3 for the same given quality. And so on.

I actually get the feeling they want to hire IT students as a direct result of copping too many technical smart-arse comments at previous O-Week events!

It's not like they want you to work for free, is it?
