Oh dear :D
OK, well here's another plug, because I also ... erm ... create stuff for Hogweed's site and am his partner and co-manager of the site. I'm the one who did the daft restaurant adverts and the one for Geddy Lee's electrical repair service!!
I hear more sighs coming on ...
The "Last Page on the Internet" gave me a chuckle ...... it also has a certain ring of truth to it ;) Nice one!!!!

Cheers for the link, Hogweed...loved the jokes, especially the "watch for falling rocks"...LOLOL :D

We've all heard that cliché about giving more than 100%, but we all thought that up to now, mathematically, it was impossible.....However, whilst working on a sequel to Hamlet, an infinite number of monkeys have stumbled across a simple formula that can work out how to achieve more than 100% :-
First, number the letters of the alphabet from 1 to 26:
AÂ Â BÂ CÂ Â DÂ EÂ Â FÂ GÂ Â HÂ Â IÂ Â JÂ Â KÂ Â LÂ Â MÂ Â NÂ Â OÂ Â PÂ Â QÂ Â RÂ Â SÂ Â TÂ Â UÂ Â VÂ Â WÂ Â XÂ Â YÂ Â Z
1Â Â 2Â Â 3Â Â 4Â Â 5Â Â 6Â Â 7Â Â 8Â Â 9Â 10Â 11Â 12Â 13Â 14Â 15Â 16Â 17Â 18Â 19Â 20Â 21Â 22Â 23Â 24Â 25Â 26
Then, applying some basic mathematics using elements that one would imagine would be required to achieve success, add up the value of each letter in the word:
DÂ EÂ DÂ IÂ CÂ AÂ TÂ IÂ OÂ N
4Â Â 5Â Â 4Â 9Â 3Â 1Â 20 9 15 14Â Â =Â Â 84 %
BÂ Â RÂ Â IÂ Â LÂ Â LÂ Â IÂ Â AÂ Â NÂ Â CÂ Â E
2Â 18Â Â 9 12Â 12Â 9Â Â 1Â Â 14Â Â 3Â Â 5Â Â =Â Â 85 %
KÂ NÂ O WÂ LÂ EÂ DÂ GÂ E
11 14 15 23 12 5Â Â 4Â 7Â Â 5Â Â Â =Â Â 96 %
HÂ AÂ RÂ DÂ WÂ OÂ RÂ K
8Â Â 1Â 18Â 4Â 23 15 18 11Â Â =Â Â 98 %
AÂ Â TÂ Â TÂ Â IÂ Â TÂ Â UÂ Â DÂ Â E
1Â Â 20Â 20 9Â 20Â 21Â Â 4Â Â 5Â Â =Â Â 100 %
This proves that neither dedication nor brilliance is enough, but that knowledge and hard work will get you close and attitude will get you there. However when one considers a number of other elements that could be used, one gets a more truthful answer about working at more than 100%:
BÂ Â UÂ Â LÂ Â LÂ Â SÂ Â HÂ Â IÂ Â T
2Â Â 21 12Â 12 19Â Â 8Â Â 9Â 20Â Â =Â Â 103 %
AÂ Â RÂ Â SÂ Â EÂ Â KÂ Â IÂ Â SÂ Â SÂ Â IÂ Â NÂ Â G
1Â Â 18Â 19Â 5Â 11Â 9Â 19Â 19Â 9Â 14Â Â 7Â Â Â =Â Â Â 131 %
So the next time you hear someone trotting out the old cliché, remember that 100% is as good as it can get…!
Thats brilliant Gelert. ;D
Mmmmm feel a Marmite page coming on. ;)
I've seen something similar to Gelert's mathematical theorems before, can't think where. No doubt our beloved and esteemed Chancellor Hogweed will make good use of the information! 8)
