AND FINALLY…..
SHOULD YOU GIVE MORE OR LESS THAN 100% ?????
A mathematical formula here, puts you in the know:
We know the people…. Either…. I demand, or…. I give…. 100 and something percent. Over 100% ???
How can this be?
We chatted to some random maths prof and came up with this formulae:
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
We discovered this:
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%
then the over-scores are revealed as,
B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
and observe how far over, a**-kissing will take you.
A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
We thank the random maths prof….. and the Irish whiskey, for this finding.
