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. 		Old Tom (5871)

261803 2004-08-14 22:57:00 So are you saying that those who correlate number to letters and then use the sequence of letters in a given word to derive a number, to be used a percentage, of their hard work, succeed in life?

Funny really, at our school they managed to put a mathematical formula to how hard we work... 		Growly (6)

261805 2004-08-15 01:21:00 This theory proves that barney (the purple dinosaur) is satan..


1) Start with the given:
CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

2) Change all U's to V's
(which is proper Latin anyway):
CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR

3) Extract all Roman Numerals:
CVVLDIV

4) Convert into Arabic values:
100 5 5 50 500 1 5

5) Add all the numbers:
666

Thus, Barney is Satan 		MrBeef (342)

I don't understand. 		Growly (6)
261808 2004-08-15 11:25:00 I think it's a metaphor. :O In public too, which is worse.

You have to allow for Tom. He has an uncanny ability to be both cryptic and incisive. ;) 		Winston001 (3612)
