2009-06-20 Sat - The Maths Geek Ride 0001 - London to Bletchley

I'm in for this fixed.
If i get dropped, i'll [strike]cry[/strike] make my own way there.

0 & <n where n is equal to the number of riders participating.

That would be an integer, I asked for a percentage:

If percentage of riders participating on a geared bike = x, then

0<x<n

where n = 100

OR

0<x<100

Bzzt.

0≤x≤100

That would be an integer, I asked for a percentage:

If percentage of riders participating on a geared bike = x, then

0<x<n

where n = 100

OR

0<x<100

Given that the number of riders on the ride is an integer, Isn't a percentage of that number that makes sense (i.e., no halved or quartered riders, please) itself necessarily an integer? Or are percentages always expressed as fractions of integers?

This is probably mathematically very na ïve and I hope that I won't be black-abacus balled from the ride for it. I never really made it to proper maths geekdom, it was more a case of 'mathematics? gee!'

A percentage is a number from 0 to 100 to express the proportion of something.

If I say I got 75% in my exam, I got 0.75 of the answers right, or 75% of the answers right.

However, if it was out of 50, and somebody asked me what percentage of the 50 I got right, then expressing my answer as a number from 0-50, in this case, it would be 37.5 answers right would not be giving an answer as a percentage.

I guess integer wasn't the correct term to use, but nevertheless, I'm right.

.

0 & <n where n is equal to the number of riders participating.

(G/F) X 100 surely.
Where G is the number of geared riders and F is the number of fixed.

Christ, if it's gonna be like this the whole way, I'm going somewhere else.

1+1=14.6

:P

0 < % < 100.
Is what I think was originally meant, where % is a real number, not (necessarily) an integer.

Christ, if it's gonna be like this the whole way, I'm going somewhere else.

1+1=14.6

:P

Ah, so that's how you get your high mileage counts together.

No, I use kilometers. Automatic 60% bonus speed/distance! :)

No, I use kilometers. Automatic 60% bonus speed/distance! :)

Speed = Distance/Time
=> Speed X Time = Distance
=> Time = Distance/Speed
=> You have an automatic 60% bonus of the reciprocal of Time?

I simply leave the units off the value.

"I rode 100 today" over here most people think miles.
I ride 100k and everyone thinks miles. Job done :)

No, I use kilometers. Automatic 60% bonus speed/distance! :)

But 1+1=14.6 gives an instant distance bullshit factor of 7.3 (630% bonus), which by my reckoning is more efficiently misleading. :)

I'm going to ghost ride my polo bike on the ride so that I'm part geared part fixed, thus introducing integers into the ride.
To further confuse things I should point out the polo bike has a choice of SS or fixed further increasing the confusion.

You now have this as your base calculation.

100(g/(g+f))-c where c is equal to the [s]cunt[/c]confusion factor.

100(g/(g+f))-c where c is equal to the [s]cunt[/c]confusion factor.

Now we're getting to proper maths.

It's integral to the ride.

Less numbers, more riding!!

Less numbers, more riding!!
Shut it you. I'm going to make you paint the equations on the road when we're checking the route for feasibility.

Can I use my finger's?

Will we ride as a group, field or.... ring?

Depends on the wind. A series might be more appropriate on narrow roads.

Harmonic or geometric?
I guess if I turn up it could be infinite.

This is cringe worthy bad but kind of appropriate for this thread.

^^That just made my day.
