If you'd only read the article, you wouldn't need to do the calculations since $18,000 is given as the exact figure.

Well then even more credit to the guy for getting the math spot-on correct even though he didn't read the article

Or he did read the article, and calculated the total down to a per month to make it seem like he got it spot on without reading the article.

I read the article, got the $18k, and tried to figure out how a "rig" would use $18k. It only makes sense if it is 11+ rigs because one just isn't going to use that much. But with 11 rigs, it can be possible.

He could have them in parallel/clustered, so despite being several physical devices it would not be incorrect to call them one mining rig/system.
