Take your calculator and type in the number "1" and then divide that by "50" & what number do you get?

0.02% ... Two hundredths of one percent = (2/100)/100 = 2/10,000
This is why an old 62 year old fart like me us still in the work force teaching freshly minted P Engs how to do aruthmetic and tie their shoes.
Anyway, going forward with your 0.02% as an insult towards JLM I'm assuming before the no "post-secondary" directed at myself. Now that you've insulted us both, what was your point with respect to this 0.02%? What is the relevance of this 1/5000?
No, I aimed at JLM, shame on me.
Anyway, arithmetic is a difficult thing for about 0.02% of us.
1 in 5000 is roughly the rate at which legitimate Scientists do not accept that the planet's temperature is riding due to human activities.
I don't think there is any...…….he'll grasp on to a red herring whatever way he can. I agree that there is something going on with the weather/climate but what, why, how much and how long are questions I don't think can be satisfactorily answered.
Speak for yourself- I can generally stumble my way through elementary arithmetic and sometimes through the theorems of Pythagoras and Euclid...…………………….so f**K off!
multiply the small number by 100 and divide by the larger number, . . . . . I see where I fuked up, 2% = 2/100. My bad, the decimal did me in, . . . cough. lol

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news---
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's,
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parablous.
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes,
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Balylonic cuneiform,
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a chassepôt rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery:
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee---
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
There was another Asshole on this forum years ago with the Nom de plume of Sir Rupert Murgatroyd.
