explanation
50/50 = 1 = 100%
Pretty much correct. A 50% chance of A and a 50% chance of B equals a 100% chance of either A or B happening.
Why are they booing, OP is right!
You don’t deserve these downvotes that joke was peak lmao
Funny how many people in the comments don’t get the joke.
Because it’s not a joke, it’s not even funny. It’s a simple mathematical thing which depends on a specific perspective.
Seems like you didn’t get the joke.
The joke is a mathematical pun, purposely misunderstanding the “/” in “50/50” as a division sign instead of a separator.
50/50 means, 50 of hundred fall on one side, 50 on the other.
But in mathematical notation, 50 divided by 50 equals 1, and 1 is 100%.
It’s just as much a joke as any other pun, just in mathematical notation instead of in a natural language.
More washing, less thinking!
No
pun-ctuation
Even if you do it twice, it’s still not 100℅.
The joke is that they interpret the “/” as a division sign, not as a separator.
So 50/50=1 and 1=100%.
You are on to something. But call it entropy, not chance.
No.
