know how to get on top in the office?

[bugjuice]

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..

Very true, as always

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

Don't hold back, tell us what you really mean :sly:

[LED]

oh no my friend - i only load the gun!! Ain't gonna get into that dodgey discussion/debate!!

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

If : A B C D ...... Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 ..... 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 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.

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?.

No.
I just think they're eejits.
By the way - we've had this same post at least once before. {yawn}

[bugjuice]

I did it the other week.. didn't I..?? can't remememememememememememememememememember now

[250learna]

No.

ohh come on vifferman give him a break,
I saw it for the first time and i find it to my likeing

[vifferman]

I saw it for the first time and i find it to my likeing

Well, yeah. There is that, I guess.

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.

I think I must have been fundamentally flawed at mathmatics

From a strictly mathematical view point :

etc, etc,

Posting and you...

[Mooch]

Point taken , I guess some of these things take longer in arrive in the UK , Probably why Biff moved to NZ .

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???

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.
