Thanks Anon!

How did you go about solving that though?

Does anyone know the population estimation formula?

You like take the last two digits of the year, subtract three, times it by a billion or something and you get the population. It's accurate for about 30 years.

those are actual statistics based on population growth and decline.

population will level at about 12 billion.
this is a fact.
