Only adds to 99.9325 ?

I didn’t get it either?

Him stating such specific numbers is just PART of what’s left. Although, I’m not sure sure if Jason is referring to 0.0675 as a percentage of “geek still remaining” (would be 6.75% of the geek remaining) or as percentage of “total Jason” (would be 50% then of the geek still remaining.) The way I read it, it’s 0.0675 of what is LEFT, which would be the 6.75% figure. That would mean there’s something else Jason sees as a much bigger portion of the geek still left in him, though, and I don’t think we have seen it yet. Maybe tomorrow..Ok. Trying to type that clearly has left me discombobulated. Need more ccoffee.

If he’s 0.0675% geek and 99.865% regular Joe , the other 0.0675% should be decaf.

Jason will revert to his regular self once he realizes that he can’t be anything other than a geek, but he does get an “A” for effort.

Whoosh! There went another one, right over the head! :-)

For someone who doesn’t know mathematics just replace the number in Jason’s last comment with the word “half”. The number is half of what is left.

That’s because things like batting averages in baseball & shooting percentages in basketball are calculated to a minimum of three decimal places (more if tiebreaker is needed).For those wondering, yes I am a sports nut. I keep it in perspective though as I don’t live and die with my team and don’t paint my face when go to a game or watch them on TV. I don’t even wear their jerseys or t shirts when I watch them play. This is an old superstition, as from the time I was very young whenever I wear my team’s t shirt, sweat shirt or jersey when I watch them play they almost always lose. I can count the wins on one hand and have fingers left. I’ll wear their colors, caps, and jackets during the game but not their shirts or jerseys. I also collect sports memorabilia.
