Mathematics Simplified
We've been having some interesting posts on various theories on Mathematics. The Trachtenberg system and other interesting theories. What I found more interesting, apart from the video clip above was the percentage theory that my sister Nandita presented using Mathematics and Numerology -
I QUOTE
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
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%

Thus, using our Attitude is important. We did so - with a little research and introspection with things that concern us a lot more in our daily lives, and we, The Non T-Totalitarians (as opposed to that complicated breed of Tee-Totalers) came up with equally interesting mathematical arguments :-
W-A-T-E-R Gave us a measly 67%
I-C-E an abyssmal 17% ( Proving that as temperatures went down, so did the percentage yeild)
But add some W-H-I-S-K-Y =84% and we get 168%
M-I-L-K, T-E-A & C-O-F-F-E-E turn up poor percentages too
0-R-A-N-G-E J-U-I-C-E doesnt do too badly with a 91% but then
VODKA TONICS , RUM N COCA-COLA all score over 105%
Researching this further - we found that SEX with BOOZE scored far over ATTITUDE, KNOWLEDGE or HARDWORK!!

WHere did you get that videoclip?!!! Its hilarious!Nandit
dear sir ... interesting bit of research there ... i sure'l try out a few more .....u'd posted me a question on regimentation and discipline in the army ... here's my take ....
1. regimentation has more to do with a sense of belonging to a particular unit /regiment and only a bit to do with discipline .. in fact i've often felt that regimental soldiers have relatively less regard for rules and more for espirit-de-corps .....
2.secondly, at the lower levels there's little to differenciate between indian and pak armies ..... the difference lies in the higher echelons .... in pak,the army has traditionally enjoyed pride of place especially because the pakis felt that their existence cannot be justified without confrontation with india ... in india ,on the other hand the babu's have over the years succeeded in keeping the faujis at bay .... the "cutting down to size sydrome" has become so deep-rooted that anybody who has the spunks to stand up and speak is shown his place at the juniour levels itself .... so a pak style coup-de-tat is out of question ...hope this makes sense ......:)
regards,
naveen
