This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience..
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is 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 andKnowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Cheers !!!!!

Quite true. But you/they missed a few:

E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N
5+4+21+3+1+20+9+15+14=92%

S-C-I-E-N-C-E
19+3+9+5+14+3+5=56%

P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S
16+15+12+9+20+9+3+19=103%

L-A-Z-Y-N-E-S-S
12+1+26+25+14+19+19=116%

Maybe we're looking at all wrong. Maybe we should look at like regular golf versus Stableford, which in this case, would mean the lower numbers are better. Maybe not. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Actually, the original western system of numbering used letters and was somewhat different than the Roman system. The first nine letters of an alphabet represented single digits, the next represented the tens and the remaining letters represented hundreds. Accordingly, S-L-E-E-P-I-N-G [100 + 30 + 5 + 5 + 70 + 9 + 50 + 7] = 276.

Also, I've frequently enlarged a picture by 102% or more.

If your stuck at 51% you know you are 6+21+3+11+6+4.
