0.4 is 40%

.04 is %

.004 is two fifths of one percent.



Ok, ok, I see now. Took me a while to work this out in my head. I was equating 0.4% with 0.4 which is not the same thing. Duh.

I don't come here to learn people.

If half a percent of my posts were quality. I'd have 200 posts. yes?

47 is 470%
.47 is 47%
.047 is 4.7%
.0047 is 0.47%
.00047 is 0.047%
.000047 is 0.0047%

So you can see how this:

.005% = .0047 rounded up to .005

Two decimal points to the left.

is not accurate.

No, you'd have 1400 total posts (assuming 7 quality posts)

I see now. I did not go to college for math, that's for sure. Just confused myself right into a corner.

I was promised there would be no math!

This is why God made calculators.

Math makes the world go round. It's my happy place.

Half a percent is what I was trying to say, the .4 thing messed me up.

I'm still at 0%

so what you're saying is based on 1400 posts 1% would be..oh.. shiny

wut?

Which human do you consider God?
W. Oughtred (slide rule inventor)
or
William Seward Burroughs (first practical calculator inventor)?

Why do you have to be like that.

Because it's simple.

I already admitted I was wrong. Now I'm going to cry.

No, it's accurate.

I'd argue it's subjective.

This is quality.

quit being all confident in wrong answers then. yer making us look bad.

I hate to change the subject (I'm lying through my teeth here), today regular Woot isn't slow. That hasn't happened during a Woot-off in a long, long time.

All right... let's see. I played tennis probably 7-8 times in college. I played golf 1 time in college on father's day. In high school, I was on the tennis team for 3 years, so the number of times played is ridiculously high. Golf was probably 10-15 times total in high school. Post-college, golf is now in the 6-7 range. Tennis 0. We'll see how it goes when grad school hits. Maybe then golfplayer121 will be more accurate, but I still like tennis a lot more.

Speaking of tennis... I missed the end of this!!! ugh, I watched this match so long yesterday.

Regular woot has actually been slow for me. I switched to shirt.woot. I usually just stick it out at regular woot.

Haha, no thanks. The unknown number of times I played tennis in h.s. makes this not possible.
