    I love statistics, esp when I am 100% sure I read somewhere that over 80% of all statistics have a 50% chance of being 100% correct or less than 30% accurate.

    Would love to know the sample size of this one!!!

    Linear statistics or quantum physics? Space-time continuum, anyone? Probability theoretics? :p

    Regardless of statistics, probability of being correct in 100% is taking a huge leap of chance and you should not count your chickens before they hatch. I leave fate to follow its natural course and if it happens, then it happens and so be it. That's my motto in life.

    @f-fish : That is a good video representation of numbers. I use numbers in a similar way but with a full birth date to determine a person's personality traits but it's not 100%. Just a probability estimate really but usually always accurate, I've been doing this for a long time and so far I've never seen any of my results wrong. For years I've been studying the astrophysics, the Pythagoreaon theory side with astronomy and astrology along with a couple of other subjects. Plus side natal charts, as far as I've seen have never been inaccurate. The probability of these calculations being inaccurate are 1 in 5,000 because someone at the hospital made an error at the time of your birth or the clock / watch on the doctor's was incorrect. It's crucial to the get the time correct and the location as well to get an accurate reading of the person for this to work.

    Sjoe ... I am so glad you now have MTS, must be way more rewarding. Well at least we all get to enjoy your results and success.

    LOL I still use the Pythagorean theorem and equations to calculate certain things such as tank volume against the EI fert dosing regime to accurately measure the amount of ferts for a monthly bottle dose so that I don't have to make up a new bottle every week (which is rather time consuming). I have a 2L bottle that is enough for a whole month, based on a single EI calculation and then added to a monthly calculation all together to one 2L bottle. Quite simple.

    IE:
    [ 85 0000 ] / [ 25 days ] = [17 000]
    [ 2000 ] / [ 25 days] = [80ml ferts per week day]

    You can see it's evident in my tank builds and led builds - the theorems in everything I DIY myself and even in my artwork too.

    With the current 20% pass in maths I wonder if they will be able to determine if a problem is solved 100% much less what Pythagoras's theorem is all about.
