While I personally have no qualms about bragging about how incredibly rich I am, I don't know if Canonical is cool with us sharing the sales statistics.
That said, I can tell you that it's selling better than I thought it would. Looking at the hours we've put in, we'd get a better hourly wage by recycling old soda bottles, but it's still more than I expected.

Recycling old soda bottles is a better career move than being an indie game dev, but who cares?

Just checked with our publisher, and apparently there will be buttrape from Canonical if we reveal any sales statistics. Sorry.

Easy. Here are your sale statistics that I derived using magical psychic powers:
1 < sales < number of atoms in the universe.
I'm close, right?

That is a reasonable approximation, yes.

0 <= sales <= n/p
n = atoms in the universe.
p = atoms in the product.

You're assuming we've made at least 1 sale. We have actually given a couple away, so if they count as negative sales, it would be something more like:
-10 < #sales < #(computers running ubuntu 10.10 or higher)

genericdave used 1 <, and you didn't see a problem with that, so I just used that.
I don't see how giving some away would count as negative sales, but OK.
-10 < #sales < #(non-servers running ubuntu 10.10 or higher)
