| Jul 16, 2012 at 15:59 | comment | added | user1027 | @MichaelEdenfield The first paragraph should mention that not all symbionts will be joined at any given time, which further limits the number of joined hosts. At least, I think that's what my line of thinking was 7 months ago. | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 15:32 | comment | added | KutuluMike | @Keen I don't follow your logic. Not all hosts can be joined, so there will always be a fraction of unjoined hosts; thus (total number of hosts) = (joined hosts) + (unjoined hosts), so there will always be more total hosts than unjoined hosts. The number and condition of unjoined symbionts isn't relevant (to that part of the answer, anyway.) | |

This: the number of joined trills has to naturally be lower than the total number of host trills. is incorrect as the symbionts that aren't joined can just hang out in the pools in the Caves of Mak'ala.

| Dec 22, 2011 at 22:55 | comment | added | Caimen | It looks like the first paragraph has been fixed now. I think this answer is more directly geared to answering the question than the other upvoted answer. Both answers seem fairly reasonable. | |
| Dec 21, 2011 at 2:42 | comment | added | user1027 | Your first paragraph is incorrect. Not all symbionts are joined. When they're not joined, they're hanging out in pools in the Caves of Mak'ala on Trill. | |
