Also, a surprising number of people don’t know that precentages are more often than not represented as decimals between 0 and 1 as opposed to actually a number out of 100 when used in calculations (because the concept of a percent doesn’t really exist in math, it’s just a context specific way of formatting a decimal). A lot of people just enter 69 when calculating a formula that operates on a precentage instead of 0.69 which obviously makes the formula useless, or if a formula is supposed to output a precentage, they assume that it output 0.69 percent instead of 69 percent.

I thought with “reversible” they meant that a number falling 50% and then rising 50% afterwards, it is the same number, which is not true.

10 * 50% = 5

5 * 150% = 7.5

Yeah the correct term would be “commutative” as someone already pointed out. Meaning the order doesn’t matter when considering multiple percentages. E.g 50% of 73% of something is the same as 73% of 50% of that same thing

50% of 10 is 5

10% of 50 is 5

Not sure if you’re saying you got it.

Idk if it’s the weed, the adderall, or the ADHD, but this thread is everything I need in my life.

Weed and Adderall sound like a dope ass combo.

Honestly I recently switched to vyvanse and I don’t actually smoke to get high (at least not until the kids are in bed). I just microdose a bit throughout the day and it balances out the vyvanse. Like, the stimulants alone are just a little bit too much for me. The combo, though, I can dial in just right.

But weed alone always made me fixate on arithmetics. And then stims turn that up to 11.
