...or count the chirps in 8 seconds and add 4.

Why am I taking 25seconds and dividing by 3? Accuracy?

My guess would be better approximation as you avoid a "fluke", as 8 second is a very short time where nothing could easily happen even with crickets being present

I'm just bothered they chose divide by 3, instead of 16 seconds divide by 2 which is wayyy easier
