20/4 = 5

4/20 = .20

You know... This game involves quite a bit of math... You may want to brush up on your algebra.

Just saying.


Edit: the fact that you are still arguing without checking a calculator on your math that you are way too overconfident in, tells me you are a person who doesn't like to admit when they are wrong or very good at taking criticism objectively.


I think what you're discounting is that although he's 4 for 20 now, he knows he's going to be 1 for his next 80 and therefore it really will be a 5% rate. Clearly you're just not seeing the big picture here. ;)

Also the fact that he is in d.v and has this much money says a lot too.


Mostly that he spent 7 years in DV.

6 and half seasons to be honest , I didnt play the 1st season of the tea, it was few games. But i had to save i,ts smart thing to do. I came out of it Ok. As matter of fact as today my team gets $115K more than anyone in this new league im in . LOL after salarys, i take in 50K$ which to me is very good. Im prjecting about 500K In profits maybe less gve or take. I really dont have to make any moves

To the other guy btw the math is all the same no matter how u slice it .2 =5. i wasnt using algebra, i was using division. / means divide in math terms. no point of using aleg for that. no one is wrong we looked at the math problem from different angle/

0.2 is not equal to 5, in the same sense that two dimes is not five dollars. Nor is 0.2 equal to five percent; it is equal to one-fifth, which is 20%. Well, theoretically, in a base 40 mathematic system, it could be accurate to say that 4 is 5% of 20, but only because that 20 would be 80, and even then I'm not sure how the concept of percent translates to other bases.

I think to sum it up, he wasn't questioning your division skills, just that you were diving in the wrong direction or just completely misunderstanding the concept of percentage.

You are correct

Mr glass... Your computer has a calculator... Use it. Or I will gladly accept 5% your style of your paycheck to tutor you math...

Another classic thread. You continue to astound. Keep up the great work.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Wait... Did that guy say division isn't algebra? I just noticed on the re-read that he said he wasn't using algebra he was using division?

Alright I'm done with the of topic now.... Some people you just can't argue with or teach

I think his contention, more elegantly phrased, was that he was applying the discipline of arthimetic, and not in fact performing any algebra. I suppose technically one could argue that any math (or for our Australian and English friends, maths) is at some point solving for an implied 'x' and therefore could fall under the purview of algebra, but that discussion would just derail onto a tangent of how cool "Implied X" would be for a team name or a nickname for Manti Te'o and as you know we abhor offtopicness here on BB.

.2 does not equal 5, and 5 does not equal 5%. Your angle happened to be the wrong one.
This game requires a lot of patience and if you're not ready to wait to get a good team, you're never going to promote.
