    50% / 49%.

    Sure, that looks about right. :D

    'Twas not such when I posted, which is why I used the "as of now" expression.
    It nonplusses me why you cannot comprehend that, given that you're likely a native English speaker.
    But then again, the level of English I study is far beyond that which the average speaker has a grasp on. Or even that which most academics are familiar with, given that I am regressing to Anglisc soon - in simpler terms, I completed the "English 7" class last semester, which is not even mandatory for any major, due to its complexity and novelty value (translators, teachers and diplomats are not likely to require such advanced notions of the language, in fact, the things taught there are likely to only bring confusion to their minds), and I am now moving on to Anglisc - you might know it as "Anglo-Saxon" - which is likely to require a lot of effort on my part to understand, due to the fact that I hold no familiarity with runes, nor with True German (only with hunsrik, which is almost a creole language) and Icelandic.


    Unless you're being humorous, which I cannot truly have a grasp on, due to, y' know, Asperger's.

    I was being entirely humorous.

    A slightly non-humorous explanation follows: The result I posted was the result I got upon voting, thus offsetting the balance. I posted it out of satire, due to it being 50% / 49% — which you cannot have since there is 1% unaccounted for (it is because of the truncating (not rounding) of the decimal point to the nearest integer; it should have been 50.33113% and 49.66887%, but the decimal is simply dropped).

    You know, this whole thing has gotten pretty easy when everyone can just look at the post above them to see exactly how the situation is. When you just go "Red has one more vote than blue!" like a football announcer, the point is kind of lost.

    Cheaters.

    Hang on a minute! Wait! THE SECOND HALF IS ALWAYS RIGHT !

    I can prove it !

    Has anyone watched a football match where the decision of the match (I.e. who has won the match) is decided in the first half? NO.

    You have to wait for the second half which is always right...

    I am a genius... Also I would always eat my Yule log from the right... You will have a 10% higher probability of getting the chocolate flake as it will have most likely have been placed onto the Yule log by hand... You guessed it! In probability, by a person who is RIGHT handed thus increasing the chance that the said flake would be slightly proportioned towards the right hand side of the Yule log...

    Stephen Hawkins eat you heart out! (Although you may need an able bodied person to help you... Not to worry as you are a millionaire and can afford it...)


    What do I win?

    I read this post again and starting laughing as the Seahawks proved this theory wrong recently.

    Hey, don't click on me! I don't want any trouble!

    I only posted my result due to being impossible. <.<

    This is a lot closer than I had expected it to be.

    Never underestimate the human desire for symmetry. I am willing to bet that in an odds/evens poll, evens win out. People think in binaries, and they desire those binaries to strike a balance.

    do you think if there were "3 thirds" the results would be so close?
  • ChowChow Member Posts: 1,192

    do you think if there were "3 thirds" the results would be so close?

    It would be impossible, because you can't divide percentiles into thirds.

    I am not bumping this thread through the opposite thread

    You could still have thirds, even if it didn't show up right on our little friend(49/50 :P) say if 9 people voted.

    Sorry, but I just voted without looking at the comments and tipped it further toward the second half. Our domination continues...
