Talk:Lifespan

How to calculate a lifespan?
I heard there is a way that the lifespan numbers seen above a human (via Shinigami eyes) can be used to calculate the remaining lifespan of a human. Can anyone offer any input for this page on this topic? I have not been able to learn much on this. Kira4real (talk) 21:33, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure Ohba and Obata created a way but they forgot. Munchvtec (talk) 21:46, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Found the quote:


 * "I did create a complicated math equation for Light's Life span when the numbers first appeared above his head. But now I don't even remember the formula. Every other life span number after that was added by Obata-sensei. He chose some nice numbers."


 * Not too sure what he means by, "He chose some nice numbers." I remember looking into it in the past but never found anything myself. Munchvtec (talk) 22:23, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess by "He chose some nice numbers." he means he added some numbers that looked good, but may not necessarily make any sense with that "math equation". ToshioYamaguchi01 (talk) 09:57, June 27, 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the actual meaning of the lifespan of Light Yagami, I found two theories on the internet. The first is in How to read Shinigami Lifespan (Death Note) by katerinaaqu. The other is Sequence A304657 in the OEIS. ToshioYamaguchi01 (talk) 10:08, June 27, 2018 (UTC)

Misa's lifespan for image gallery
What about adding a screenshot of Misa's lifespan from the anime to the gallery? See for example here. ToshioYamaguchi01 (talk) 06:35, June 27, 2018 (UTC)
