Beauty Of Math
Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 123456765432
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111= 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, what Equals 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 in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.
What equals 100% in life?

How about ACHIEVING 101%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help 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

If: 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%

5. 101%
Ok, this will help

You have 12Heineken bottles you buy another 6pack, times that by 3.45
add a case of Heinken, minus all the foam, divide by the drinkers (1)

That is 101%

:bounce: :bounce: :hi:

7. Those patterns might be nicer if you used base 12.
Speaking of different bases, I give you the Holiday Theorem.

Halloween = Christmas

Proof: Halloween = Oct 31
= 31 in base 8 (the octal base)
= 25 in base 10 (the decimal base)
= Dec 25
= Christmas.

QED, baby!
