At 20 tables a night (one turn), that's 36,200 tables (I know you used to have a shorter menu with possibility of 2 turns some years ago but I believe you also only had 60-person capacity back then - I'll assume that cancels out). Assuming oversampling of same names due to related people, I'm guessing there will be an average of about 2 different families represented per table, so people from over 72,000 families have dined with you. Based on the distribution of names from Census data and a few randomized simulations, that gets us to about 36-40K names, with almost 250 'Z' last names. With 3 unique last names per table, that still gets us to ~108K families or less than 50,000 unique last names. I doubt it's going to get much higher than that with reasonable assumptions given the sample set we're talking about. I really shouldn't have spent this long on this given I'm still at work.....)"

Capacity of the restaurant is 60 and their is 1 seating/night. I'm gonna assume 25% of diners get notes each night (15 diners) making the annual notes taken at 4,500 (15*300). Alinea has been open since May 2005, 7.58 yrs, which when multiplied by the annual notes taken (7.58 x 4,500) = 34,110 notes. However I'm gonna assume that 2.5% of diners are repeats and had their notes taken (subtract 853 names) making the total in the database 33,257 names.

Then we need to account for weeks the restaurant is closed, let's say 1 week a year = -4,200. Further there should be some factor for being below capacity. Hmmm. Let's call that 1 table per night. Certainly things are sold out as of late, but no show's and the random off Sunday night may have happened previously. That generates -1950. The real question becomes if Nick was talking about unique last names or total. We'll assume unique if only because I can't even come up with a reasonable guess as to how many doubles there are. So the back of the cocktail napkin math gets us to: 227,850. A quick google search tells me that in the US, .21% of names start with Z. We'll assume the same distribution for Alinea customers. Run the math and we come up with 478 start with Z. If I'm allowed to guess twice, my second answer there are zero names in the dining notes because the computer crashed while the upload was in progress and now all names are lost :) Just kidding. P.S. I might try this again later with more researched data inputs and some Excel formulas. Table count may be my downfall. My math assumed 60. I had that number in my head for some reason. Now I'm seeing google results for 20. I Thought Next was 18, but Alinea is significantly larger. If I only would have been counting tables last time I was there. Damn it. UGH, and I also forgot that there used to be two menus -- the time difference in menus may have affected the ability to turn each table every night. Alright. Going to bed before I think of any more omissions. And repeats. Duh. Going.to.bed."
