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!!
