 Good Humour

I've been known to say that Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

This month's feature is Adding up the Sums. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any to share, just email me at the address below.

What Makes 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 to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%?

So, What makes up 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%

However B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will get you to the top.

However is there is only one "little" word you can rely? 

To deliver, Where you need to KISS it - (Keep it Simple & Sweet), the answer's easy  -" TRUST Trumps" the lot of them.

 Now, just jot down any words which spring to mind. Is there an equation which naturally forms out of them? If so, what does the sum/different/multiplication/division/exponential factor look like?

If you come up with any new ones, please feel free to send back to me, I'd love to here what's on your mind.

What's New

We have added "Adding up the sums - a piece of good humour forwarded by a team mate from my LBS class. It has been altered slightly and I hope you enjoy the revised version. If you come up with any interesting equations, please let me know!
