    Likely to be a repost, but what the hell ... From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this: 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%? 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% And, 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 then conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and knowledge will get you close, and, Attitude will get you there, Bullxxxx and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

          Its not close. Bullshit(103%) is in between hardwork(98%) and asskissing(118%) :laugh: Never comment ur code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand !!!

                  Why do those numbers represent a percentage, and why would each letter represent a meaningful concept in their own right? Why is the notion of 'z'ness somehow better for getting ahead in life than the notion of 'a'ness? Go read the Dialogue "Ant Fugue" in Gödel Escher Bach. The relevant section (edited for brevity): Anteater: ....now imagine trying the following game: you must find a way of mapping letters onto ideas, so that ....[it] makes sense when you read it letter by letter. Achilles: Hmmm. You mean that every time I hit a word such as "the", I have to think of three definite concepts....? Anteater: Exactly. They are the 't'-concept, the 'h'-concept and the 'e'-concept, and every time those concepts are as they were the preceding time. Achilles: Well, it sounds like that would turn the experience of "reading" .... into and indescribably boring nightmare. It would be an exercise in meaninglessness.

                    not a post you should make anonymously. But maybe you have reasons.
