Do the Math

Here is a little something someone sent me that is 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 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.

SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!

"REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE ARE ALIVE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHOOT THEM.

Yeah, it’s a popular chain letter. I think I’ve had that hit my inbox dozens of times now. It is, however, true.

Umm, the math on Asskissing is off. It’s 127.

Here’s another mathmatical fallacy:

The population of the universe is effectively ZERO.

How so? Well the universe is infinite, yet the number of lifeforms in it is finite.

A finite number divided by infinity is equal to 0, therefore the population of the universe is ZERO.

I don’t think it’s EQUAL to zero, I think it approaches zero as the infinite number approaches infinity. That’s called it’s limit.

And that right there was probably the first and last time I’ve ever used calculus outside the class.

Maybe the mass of lifeforms approaches zero, but population isn’t a ratio, its very rarely divided by the universe.

Woohoo!!!

Math Puzzles

Here’s an old one that still fools folks

The first triangle is made of 4 pieces. The second triangle is formed by rearranging pieces used to create the first. Explain the strange gap in the second triangle. Has area vanished?

They promised me there would be NO MATH!

Don’t you mean the first quadrilateral?

tan^-1(2/6) = 18.4…
tan^-1(3/8) = 20.6…

So was it worth it?

We were told there would be punch and pie.

Yes, well, taking calculus is what got me into a great program and start a great career so I can definitely say it was worth it. It still cracks me up that they make these bs requirements cuz you never use the shit.

Exactly. Its not the most honest riddle, but it keeps some folks busy for a while.

How many squares are on a chessboard (8 x 8)?

All depends on what you decide to do with your life really, I use it quite a bit

Just curious…what do you guys do with it?

I’m in construction management so I had to know it because I had to take a sequence of 5 engineering courses for statics and strengths of materials. I actually like math but ever since completing that sequence I never had to use it ever again. It would be kinda cool if there was a situation where I needed to do it though.
