Pop sci for gnomes

lol dude shut up 1/92 = 1.092~ if you get rid of the one in front of the .092 it becomes
.92 hahaha. I know you're bull-sh*ting you didn't ask a math teacher.

[MikeTyson]

I never did 5000*1/92. If you wanted to do that you would have to put it in this form 1/5000*1/92. By the way 1*1/92 = .92.
And this 1*1/92=1*.01=.01 is a bunch of bulls**t you made up.
I'm going to say this one more time. The one in "1/92gc" represents one book. So for every book you learn 92% of that book is related into net worth. 92% of 1 is .92. So for every book one learns .92gc will be added to one’s net worth. Now all one has to do to figure out how much net worth his or her science will add is: .92 * the number of books he or she has.
Either you are bullsh**ing me or you really don't understand.

Wow..., I'm speechless. Are you from a poverty stricken country without any education system? If you are, I tip my hat to you for making an effort at math all by yourself. Let me know how I can help your current situation.

ol dude shut up 1/92 = 1.092

So it is 1.092 now, is it? So those 5k books now turned into ~5.5k nw? Or several hundreds of thousands of nw when you grow a little...

Read the damn post. 5,000 books in pop sci. adds about 4,800~ and you get another 4,000~ form the new military one is able to train due to the pop science. So that's around 8,800gc~. Now say I doubled in size. The amount of books I need inorder to keep +2% is times by 4. So 8,800gc*4= 35,200gc.

[Someone]

1. It was YOU who said "lol dude shut up 1/92 = 1.092".
2. "Now say I doubled in size. The amount of books I need inorder to keep +2% is times by 4." This is false. If you wish to raise from 2% to 4% pop-bonus, THEN you need 4 times the amount of books. The effect of Sci is based on BPA, and if you double your size, you only need to double the amount of books to keep the same BPA.

Read your own damn posts! And while youre still reading, read the guide aswell!

Oh my bad you are right what was I thinking.

[trefnwyd]

I'm getting the feeling that Vines is deliberately acting retarded to get a rise out of the rest of us. Nobody could be that stupid...

[Catwalk]

vines, you based all your arguments on the assumption that science gave about 100x as much NW as it actually does. Do you withdraw your arguments and concede that it's a horrible strategy?

[vines]

I am state and hear me now for ever one book a person learns .92gc is added to that person net worth. So if a person has 50,000 books add .92gc to one's net worth 50,000 times and that will give you the amount of net worth added by science.

[Catwalk]

But that's horribly wrong. Do you know that 1/92 means 1 divided by 92? What about 1/25, is that 0.25? Is 1/2 0.02?

[vines]

It is not wrong you are not at that level. 1/25 is saying 1/2 of a 1/4, and that looks like this .025. Or 1/25 could mean 1/4 of a 100%; and that looks like this .25. It all depends on the context of the numbers.

This is the saddest frontal assault on proper math I've ever seen in my 12 years of playing Utopia :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractions

In mathematics, a fraction (from the Latin fractus, broken) is a concept of a proportional relation between an object part and the object whole.

A fraction is an example of a specific type of ratio, in which the two numbers are related in a part-to-whole relationship, rather than as a comparative relation between two separate quantities.[1]

A fraction is a quotient of numbers, the quantity obtained when the numerator is divided by the denominator. Thus 3⁄4 represents three divided by four, in decimals 0.75, as a percentage 75%. The three equal parts of the cake are 75% of the whole cake.

Each fraction consists of a denominator (bottom) and a numerator (top), representing (respectively) the number of equal parts that an object is divided into, and the number of those parts indicated for the particular fraction. Fractions are rational numbers, which means that the denominator and the numerator are integers.

For example, the fraction 3⁄4 could be used to represent three equal parts of a whole object, were it divided into four equal parts. Because it is impossible to divide something into zero equal parts, zero can never be the denominator of a fraction (see division by zero). A fraction with equal numerator and denominator is equal to one (e.g. 5⁄5 = 1) and the fraction form is rarely, if ever, given as a final result.

Nah it is clear you full understand of what is being talked about. 1/2 is .5 or 1/2 of 100% which turn can also be written as 50 assume 100% is 100. If it were 1/20 it would be .02 or .2 of a 100%. If it was 1/50 it would be .05 or .5 of a 100%. In this case the 100% is one book. So 1/92 is .092 or .92 of 100% and in this case a 100% is one book.

Omg, as someone with a masters in Theoretical Physics, I'm just insulted by this.

1/92 = 1 divided by 92. Run that through your calculator, Vines. You will come up with the answer 0.010869565217391304347826086956522

However, this is much easier explained by the fractional value 1/92, or by the rounded values of .01, or .011

Now we've established you have no actual grasp of basic mathematics, I'm going to put this as simply as possible so I do not overshoot your low IQ:

Science = good
More science = very good
Trying to argue a point when your basic mathematics behind it has been disproven dozen of times = bad

And please, do not go on at me about context. There is no context in the global system of mathematics where 1/92 = 1.092
