"Do you give more than 100%??"
Posted by byoffer on 12-04-12 at 11:20 AM
Math lesson du jour:

Another take on Mathematics.


This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 years experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic.
It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly ..... Mathematical viewpoint.. and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there.
Its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!


b-y-o-f-f-e-r = 77% and t-w-o-c-e-n-t-s = 119%

I always hate when someone says "give 110%". But I enjoyed this post!



k-i-d-f-l-a-s-h comes out to 70%. Just call me Slacker.

I agree!


I also hate the saying "balls to the walls!" That sounds painful.

M-o-o-n-b-a-b-y = 84%, which must have been bumped up on the bell curve!!!

Okay, so I'm lazy, giving less than half of my effort. Besides, I like to work smart, not work hard.

"How about less than zero?"
Posted by Estee on 12-05-12 at 08:11 AM
Let's say we have a topic where I couldn't care less. By definition, this must mean the amount of caring I can give on the subject is 0%. But then something happens where it turns out that I could in fact actually care less. Have I gone to negative caring, did I underestimate the original amount, or do I just care less in continually smaller fractions which approximate zero without ever reaching it?
"RE: How about less than zero?"
Posted by byoffer on 12-05-12 at 09:26 AM
H-A-T-E = 34%

L-O-V-E = 54%

E-S-T-E-E = 54%

Despite your post, you are a lover not a hater.

To paraquote Rasheed Wallace, Math don't lie.

Oh, please. If you can't torture the numbers until they confess, torture the mathematician.

Amazing... then this equation is true:

Z+O+I+D+B+E+R+G = 86%

Must be why I haven't made General yet.

"RE: Do you give more than 100%??"
Posted by agman on 12-06-12 at 04:36 PM
If you were to include COLONEL then that would be an additional 76 points! 76+86=162!!!!!! You'd be a general in no time!!

"RE: Do you give more than 100%??"
Posted by Estee on 12-06-12 at 05:33 PM
Based on recent events, he would then feel obligated to start spreading the extra percentage to other people behind his spouse's back. And that just doesn't end well...
"RE: Do you give more than 100%??"
Posted by Tummy on 12-06-12 at 06:51 PM
92% unless I still went by ahtumbreez and then I give 119% - I don't like to exert myself though.

These are the threads I miss.

WyoGuy44 = 160% I win lol.Deerhunter is only 118%. *I knew i left him back in Mn. for a reason* I added wrong. Looks like the colonel has a better percentage of giving though if he uses both names. *second isn't bad though *
