For anyone entering random numbers, here's a little trick I learned from basic CS classes:
Always divide and conquer by going in half. Example - if you want to see how many users there are, start at a decent idea of what a maximum may be. I started with 40k.
And so on. Basically just halving until you find the thing. This is the way most index search algorithms work, as well. (This is the final account at the time of this posting: https://www.designernews.co/users/36929)
