From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 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 in situations where someone wants

you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 101%?

What equals 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, look how far the love of God will take you


L- O- V- E- O-F -G-O-D


12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%



As said many times before, DISCUSS.

That is probably the wierdest coincidence I have seen all week. Good find. Just for kicks and grins, though...

P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-I-O-N
16+18+15+3+18+1+20+21+9+14+1+15+9=
160%
I win.

[MarioBrosCom]

A percent is per one hundred. 100 per one hundred is one. 101 per one hundred is 1.01.

Simple as that.

The rest of what you posted is just coincidence, though... you'd have to compare the words in different languages to truly find a pattern.

Besides that, since when does Zzzzzzz = 182%?

Sounds like something you got in an annoying chain mail. Chain mail is annoying.

Discuss.

[jimbob]

But by this logic, SOLVE MY MAZE = 157. And Superman 64 was a really awful game.

Has anyone asked any Russians? Different alphabet, see.

And may I add that this is the stupidest topic I've ever seen?

[Bonegolem]

No, no, he's got a point here. This is all very important. And if we send this email-erm, thread, to 20 people in our address books, our biggest crushes will ask us on dates!

Forget the Russians. I wonder what J-E-S-U-S C-H-R-I-S-T would equal in the Mandarin Chinese alphabet? Might be kind of interesting considering how many non-christians there are in China.

I read "Mathematical Equations" and expected something a little more advanced. Anybody willing to argue that 1 does not really equal 1 in many cases?

And now for my type of answers to such questions:

What Equals 100%?
1

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
To give the effort of more than one average person on an average type of day.

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
They are a little self absorbed or very caring. Depends on the attitude.

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%.
That would be your typical slavedriving boss or your typical company goal.

How about achieving 101%?
Sure. Put forth an 8 hour, 4 minute, and 48 second effort within 8 hours and you will be giving 101%.

What equals 100% in life?
Living the life of one person. Those who attempt 200% eventually reveal their dark secret.

The letter number conversion makes sense in the mathematical world, but obviously has it's flaws in the verbal world.

[Mitchfork]

. I was going to post something like that, but am glad that I didn't. Yours was much funnier.

[Sparkrulean]

Wow, okay. I think that the mathematical stuff that moonwhisper was trying to show is pretty cool. I think it is rediculus how nearly everyone posted rude remarks without approaching or discussing the content being presented. -_-;;

PURE ZC = 16 + 21 + 18 + 5 + 26 + 3 = 91%

[Lemon]

But,

L- O- V- E- O-F -S-A-T-A-N

12+15+22+5+15+6+19+1+20+1+14 = 130%

Hence, logically love of satan is better than love of god. Hail satan

[Moonbread]

I suppose trying to post something I was trying to be serious with was too much for everybody...

[Animus01]

I wonder...

ANIMUS01 = 1 + 14 + 9 + 13 + 21 + 19 = 77% (Not including the "01")

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL = (19 + 21 + 16 + 5 + 18) + (19 + 13 + 1 + 19 + 8 ) + (2 + 18 + 15 + 19) + (2+ 18 + 1 + 22 + 12) = 79 + 60 + 54 + 55 = 248 or an average of 62% per word.

Oh well. It's fun just seeing how much value a word is, using the table (I killed my self-esteem up there, though. )

EDIT: 8 + ) =


Pretty interesting how the words you used work, Moonwhisper.

Hey, I was being serious. By using the exact same logic as you were using, I proved that the love of satan is better than the love of god by the numbers, and numbers don't lie.

But antidisestablishmentarianism > all.

Ahh... I see that I may be forming a party of antidisestablishmentarians by pure accident.

However, I doubt this thread is meant to be taken too seriously. I mean, it's just playing with numbers, that's all.
