    Ice cream? Are you talking about ice cream again?

    No, because I posted that in response to your ending a sentence with a preposition. Idiot.

    Except, of course, when you're not in the realm of theoretical mathematics, and dealing with real populations. 100th Percentile is a statistical impossibility, as it implies that you beat yourself with the same score you placed. You can't be in the 0th percentile either, it's impossible as they are both absolutes. Look at it this way - in a room 100ft long, you can't stand at the 0th foot or the very end of the 100th foot, unless the wall is not a solid surface, in which case it's not really a room, and you don't really exist. In theoretical mathematics, according to Wolfram Mathematics, a 100th percentile would = positive infinity, while a 0th percentile would represent negative infinity, hardly possible.

    You mean "If you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters," he proclaimed, "If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from."?

    Are you trying to snow Teddy under? Regardless, you just succeeded.

    Nah, I was just teaching you real mathematical principles, rather than repugmythmatic.

    You did, you just don't want to admit it because it would hurt your Repugnant ego.

    What you learned: despite what Repugnant math would indicate, a 100th and a 0th percentile are statistical impossibilities.

    Now go brush your teeth and

    For your benefit I've provided a link to a high-school level mathematics page that will help you to understand. If you need help, just holler, I'll ask my 6 year old nephew to explain it to you in language you can more easily comprehend. View attachment 1055

    Wow! Straight from my original post. Apparently I taught you that it a percentile of 100 or higher was impossible. Apparently, I should also have mentioned greater than 0, but .... Oh! Well!

    You truly are a legend in your own mind. I always like the people who insult others while being completely wrong. It really says, "Buffoon" like nothing else can.

    The 100th percentile represents positive infinity just as 0 percentile represents negative infinity. So if you did better than the 99th percentile in chemistry eh? How is that possible mathematically?

    BTW The number of people in the world is infinite? Really? You just can't stop saying stupid things.

    Current world population is:

    World
    7,057,889,067
    15:41 UTC (EST+5) Dec 11, 2012

    That is not infinite.

    See if you cannot decipher the line I highlighted. Maybe you can learn something about math. BTW, I 100% stand behind my line you just posted. Not even 99.99999%, but 100%

    What you posted afterwards in no way makes up for the logical fallacy you made prior. Nice attempt to cover up your own mental ineptitude though. The fact of the matter remains, you claimed to have performed better than the 99th percentile, so you claimed to have scored "positive infinity" on a finite exam against a finite population, therefore, you claimed to be better than everyone else on chemistry tests, including yourself, on a single test. Of course, you cannot take a single test and beat yourself, it's logically and physically impossible, and you still cannot score higher than 99th percentile. So, either way, you're still wrong, and any past or future attempts to reconcile your post with reality will be a failure.

    Also, stop editing your posts afterwards to make yourself look like less of an idiot.

    This is really getting pathetic. He just can't admit to the stupid things he says but just keeps saying them. Wait until he edits out his infinity population comment. He is a sad SOB.

    I edited no post "to make [myself] look less of an idiot." And, I am sorry you do not understand basic math, but I do not have the time to instruct you now. Try asking your children.

    I have no clue what you are talking about. If you can actually read it, look at the time of any editing I have done. I doubt you will find a single edit I have done more than 5 minutes after I posted it.

    BTW, have you two figure how you can beat the 99th percentile yet?

    Let's just simplify this for everyone.

    You did say that you did better than the 99th percentile in chemistry? True?
    You did say that the world population was infinite? True?

    FWIW:
    If I had to apply my armchair psychological analysis of someone like you, I'd say that you're probably a control freak. You seem to never be able to admit making a simple mistake because it would indicate a loss of personal control. You must be a blast to have to live with. Ouch!

    Just to clarify...
    The "Bush" tax cuts expired and the BO admin replaced them with his own tax cuts. Henceforth, for the sake of honesly, we need to refer to the current tax situation as the "Obama tax cuts".
    That is all. Carry on.
