What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving
more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where
someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you
answer these questions:

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 + 45 = 100%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2 + 21 + 12 + 12 + 19 + 8 + 9 + 20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1 + 19 + 19 + 11 + 9 + 19 + 19 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 118%

So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close,
and, Attitude will get you there, but
Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

thx, now i got a new life philosophy

Guess it's time to pucker up.

that's priceless...

how about me...

S-L-A-C-K-E-R

19+12+1+3+11+5+18 = 69%

'Tyberius Prime' is actually a whooping 148% ;-).

Oh, and here's a python two liner for you if you're a) to lazy to calculate by hand b) have a python interpreter at hand.

str = "Tyberius Prime"

print reduce(int.__add__,map(lambda u: ord(u.upper()) - ord('A') + 1,str))

so long,

Tyberius Prime
