<div class="IPBDescription">Wise men have pondered this</div> If you got the entire Dragonball saga (Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonbal GT) and printed each frame of every episode onto a piece of A4 paper. How many pieces of paper would you use?
I count 19,462,500 pages. I cannot figure out the math for if you could print 1 every 15 seconds however. I got 15 days, but I don't think it is right.
Somehow I got 10,972,800,000 , with 24(fps) x (25x60(seconds in episodes)) x 508. I feel like that is not right, because that would mean it would be 10 billion pages instead of the 19 million I first counted. Anyone who can figure out if my math is anywhere close to right?

Talking about DB, when will the 4th series come out (Think they're called DBZ EF)? I hope they're more diverce then previous, even tho I kinda liked GT some.
When counting, keep in mind that most of the scenes are just 10 frames being repeted over and over and over and over again. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I thought the whole of every DBZ program was just the same episode.

Do the 5 minutes of them looping 5 or 6 frames over and over as they Power up or have a mighty discussion count? Because there is a lot of that in Dragonball Z. Like... 80% of the time.
30FPS (that is what mine are) X (22(minutes) X 60(seconds) X (519(DB/DBZ + 64(GT)))
Equals = 23,086,800 pieces of paper. 23 million.. not bad. (Estimation.. the GTs are closer to 25 minutes per episode).. so you may want to do this instead
((30 X (22 X 60) X 519) + (30 X (24 X 60) x (64)) = 23,317,200
The above is more accurate probably by 50 pieces of paper or so.

Well lets use math to explore this option as well.
1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets.
Take that divided by 23 million sheets...
(23,317,200 / 8,333(one tree) = 2,798.175 trees.
The fiber in a coated paper (most often used for magazines and catalogs, with a clay coating that may be glossy or matte, or other finishes) may be only a little more than 50% of the entire sheet, because the clay coating makes up so much of the weight of the paper.
Assuming the above is correct, it is roughly 2800 trees.

Not to mention there are gonna be a whole lot of duplicates due to a certain problem with the anime beating around the bush most of the time.
Or in short....<a href='http://www.vgcats.com/comics/' target='_blank'>Grr.... *twitch* *bulge*</a>
Probably. I mean there is a lot of episodes with flying around in circles, powering up and saying "Ha I'm only using 1% of my full power!", Staring at each other and yelling.
So lots.

Yeah, that's about right.
