OKAY NERDS! TELL US THE LOGIC

 

[Inigo Montoya]

It's lower. I will explain the logic behind it when someone gets it [DOUBLEPOST=1437987659][/DOUBLEPOST]

No, I am serious lol. 25% off something and then another 25% off the discounted price.

Oh OK... I get you now.

Well done @Consuela I knew you would have gotten the answer correct

 

[Meglos]

Ugh, maths.

 

[Affable]

Formula I used: 100 - (100 * 0.75 * 0.75)

 

[jessy_girl]

Ok well this is very convenient afterwards and not the same as actually being right but I was one number off. That's a victory for me.[DOUBLEPOST=1437987862][/DOUBLEPOST]Also @Consuela is a professional maths person so that's hardly fair.

 

[Affable]

Alternatively, use 1 - (1 * 0.75 * 0.75)

^ with 1 representing a whole and the subtraction of percentages in the bracket.

It will give a decimal answer of 0.4375 which we then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

...and that is why I became a decent speller, lol.

I have to agree!

 

[Columbo]

Thank god for spell check though.

Lol same here.

 

[Fiona]

I never use it. My spell check is called a dictionary.

 

[Columbo]

Lol same here.

Have you seen that spelling bee show that's been advertised?[DOUBLEPOST=1437988439][/DOUBLEPOST]

I never use it.

I always use it. I'm an awful speller.

I can't miss it. I'm actually very bad at spelling out loud, I'm more visual than auditory I think. I can spell no problem when writing down though.

I won't be watching as the promos are flooding the airwaves and I'm over it. I had to laugh at the weekend as they did the promo where they ask you how would you spell the word. The following promo came up with the answer. A couple of ads later the one with the 'guess the spelling' came back on. Same block of ads.

Does the visual over auditory only apply for spelling? Like do you favor visual over auditory when you do maths?

I would never do any maths in any other way other than visual. Considering I can barely spell when saying out loud and that's the one thing I can do well, my brain might just implode if I attempted to do maths by talking out loud.

 

[Mooseface]

What prompted this?!

Well I certainly don't want your brain to implode!
