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

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.
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.
