The Drake Equation is just a fun exercise, not a life-or-death combat, and all the 'rules' are loosey-goosey and your guess is not particularly important at all, you will still get an answer, and it will not be a You have a pattern, Everytime you show you don't know somehing you believe people are making it up. > > > > the e next to the n stands for earth. > > No, the ne term means "habitable planets that are Earth-like".

N or n (take your pick) stands for the answer... and zero is not a valid guess in any case. If you think differently, please provide a reference. I gave you a multible choice of four, 0, 1, 2, or 3 ? and you're working your way up from....zero???? You're getting warm...try again!
