From a strictly mathematical viewpoint 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, it's
the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

classic, but had to be posted..

Good point well raised but shouldn't this be in the biker angels posts - they should be able to help you.

Heres' a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these

Then:

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T

AND, (Look how far the next one will take you)


A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%,

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while hard work and
knowledge will get you close,and attitude will get you there, it's the
bullshit and ass kissing that puts you over the top.

No.

How about:

let n=0.999999 recurring

10n = 9.99999 recurring

10n-n =9n

9.99 recurring - 0.99 recurring = 9

9 = 9n
9 = 8.999999 recurring???

Mathematics is fundamentally flawed I tell you.

9.99 recurring - 0.99 recurring = 9

9 = 8.999999 recurring???

:wacko:

that took some thinking (and scribbling and talking to my brother)...

If n = .999 recurring = (1-h) as h approaches 0

h can also be thought of as (1/infinity)

10n-n = 10(1-h)-(1-h) = 9(1-h) = 9-9h

9.99 recurring - 0.99 recurring = 9 - 9(1/infinity) = 8.999 recurring

and it still doesn't really make sense because 8.999 recurring = 9

So I guess that means that 1/infinity = 0 and we shouldn't mess with recurring numbers...

Maths isn't flawed, just our concept of infinity is.

We joke, but I had this for an accounting paper...

Hard work on an assignment, understanding everything, netted me a bare pass. On the second, I bullshitted my way through, almost a perfect mark...

Hold up left hand. Count off each finger starting from 10 and going down 1 for each finger counted (inc the thumb) til you run out of fingers. so 10=thumb, 9=index finger , 8,... etc. remember the last number. Hold up right hand, add the number of fingers (inc thumb) on that hand, to the value that you remembered from the left hand. Whats the answer.

And people tell me they only have 10 fingers :)

Learn how to count in binary on your fingers, if nothing else you will gain the most remarkable dexterity once you get past 7 and you can count to 31 on one hand, 1023 on both.

You can also give a "binary 4" to people that fuck you off...

I used to piss the coach off when he would ask for 115% effort in second half.I'd say just give it all guys once on the field,usually if I gave 100% or my best that was all I could ask of them.

I recon he see's 90% of the slack time you have and 2 % of the time you work ! Therefore you will not be hired by my firm, no way, your a slacker ! You prolly even have morning smoko !!
Don't you know national is in government now ?
And you come with mathmatical equations ? baaaaaahaaaaahaaaaabaaaa !
Bet the guy your boss has lined up for your job has better blood ! You in in in bread you !!!!

Like any other fine piece of mechanical equipment you shouldn't really be running harder than 60-75% of maximum capacity most of the time. You need to keep something in reserve for when shit hits the fan - and 100% is the maximum (% = percent = per hundred = 1/100).

So, indeed, when someone (with an attitude) tells you to put in 103, 110, 115, 120, etc % feel confident that they are indeed feeding you bullshit (206 proof as a matter of fact).
