hmm, do I have this math right?
« on: August 09, 2006, 11:52:08 am »
600,000/4,600,000,000 = .0001304

& in percentile that would be like 1 thousandth of a percent?

It would be 0.01304%.  One hundredth.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

ahhhhhhh,k.


ANYWAY, so BASICALLY, that percentile invalidates Al Gore's movie, yeah?
His graphs only account for .01% of earth's life span...cool...that's like what 15 days (ish) out of 100 years?...I dont think you can judge a century by such a short amount of time.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Are you sure you mean percentile?  (Not percentage....?)

(And 600000/4600000000*365.25*100  =~ 5 ......)

outta curiosity, why would I multiply by 365?  to get the # of days?

I just want what percent of earth's life Al Gore's graphs account for

It's closer to 5 days.  365 days 100 times makes 100 years..
