When I first did it, I had them mixed up. I need to go find the original post to see who corrected me, but I originally had it set for the number to go higher with urgency and defcon is actually the other way around.

I still don't understand it. If there is defcon 1 then what do I do? Take out my notepad and manually start calculating sha256 hashes over block headers?

Well first off, I hope its obvious this whole thing is kind of a joke. It basically just means that more time has passed since the last block than you normally see. There's a conspiracy theory that Bitcoin could fall into a spiral in which difficulty is so high and hash rate so low that a new block would never be mined and the difficulty never reset. I'm basically just trying to poke fun at that here. ...potentially unsuccessfully.

Oh man. I learned sigma and the summation equation so I could understand the white paper a little better. Now you’re throwing lambda at me!?

Just wait til he throws a Markov chain at you.
