Good enough, I'm pretty chill with life as it is. If I removed even half my problems I'd be living better than most millionaires... 99.2% is kinda excessive
Easy, you repeat until you have only one problem left, that problem being lack of storage space for books. Then you go and buy a bookshelf, last problem solved gg
Actually, it's still 50%, the second book won't solve anything the first book already solved or that the first book didn't solve. Now maybe if there was a volume 2?
The difference between multiplicative and additive.
Multiplicative means, you either apply one factor after the other or you first multiply all factors with each other and then multiply your value with that result.
Additive means, you simply add all factors together and then multiply the value by that.
Example Multiplicative: say you have 5 instances of multiplied by 2 and your Starting value is 1. That would result in 32, as you would double the number a total of 5 times, so 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
If your system instead uses additive multiplication your end result would be 10, as you would first add all multipliers together, 2+2+2+2+2=10 and multiplying that by 1 equals 10.
In this post, the comment assumes multiplicative division, as the division factor is cut in half every step.
If it was instead additive, you would add 50 % to 50 % which results in 100 %.
I'm sure somebody can explain this better and in less words, but i just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.
It's definitely multiplicative.
50 % can be written as 0,5, so that means 0,5 x 0,5 = 0,25. The first application of 50 % gives you 50 %. The second application divides what you get by 50 % so in the 2nd step you only get 25%. 50% + 25% = 75%
If it was additive, there would be no 1st and 2nd calculation.
The 50 % of the 1st and 2nd application simply get added together so you would have 50% + 50% = 100%
So, as i said, the comment in the original post assumes multiplicatice division.
As to whether the books should be treated as multiplicative or additive, i personally would say additive, assuming the 2 books would contain different knowledge. In this case, one book would solve 50% of your issues while the other book would solve the other 50%.
Reminds me of the joke in my blue heaven.
Steve Martin is asked why he has 26 copies of a silent book in his trunk. He replies in case I want to read it more than once
Ngl reading through the comments made me realise this post accedentaly made a modern version of that old (cant recall if it was greek or Roman) paradox of the turtle and your athlete racing home
If they ready it one after the other it would be 75%, but then you'd just by one book and re-read it. thats why you gotta buy 2, read both at the same time. I'd buy 3 that way im set for a long time

He could've just read it twice tho, what an Idiot š¤£
That would still only solve 75% of your problems
Then read it five more times
You only solve 99.22% (99.21875% rounded) of your problems
Good enough, I'm pretty chill with life as it is. If I removed even half my problems I'd be living better than most millionaires... 99.2% is kinda excessive
No matter how good your life is, you'll fixate on your biggest few problems
Idk š probably depends on the person... I don't find myself fixating on any of my problems
But than a bitch ain't one
I got 99 problems, but .22 ain't one.
It can solve lim100% of your problems if you read it infinite times
1\n, diverges to infinity. It solves infinite problems.
This is not 1/n this is 1/2^n
What language are you guys speaking?!
Simple math or Algebra with the limit one
Uh, no that would be statistics
Really? I take stats next year, but we talked about limits in Algebra 2 a couple years back. If it is a stats concept then mb
Which definitely convergesā¦ right? Itās been a while since Calc 2.
Yeah it converges very fast
Please. Lindsay Lohan taught us the limit does not exist
I need 20 of those books.
Still wouldn't solve 100% of your problems Also, since it operates on proportions, having more problems doesn't require buying more books.
I got 99 problems and a book ain't one.
Hit me!
Easy, you repeat until you have only one problem left, that problem being lack of storage space for books. Then you go and buy a bookshelf, last problem solved gg
IM STUPID I DONT GET IT
After you solve 50 % of your problems you still have 50% of problems left. Now with the second book you solve half of those 50% which is 25%. 50+25=75
At what point it will be just like a Zeno's Paradox
All you need is the ability to buy infinite books and your problems will be solved
Until that 0.1% recurring factor becomes sentient.
the remaining percentage of the problem will be your empty wallet
Not if one of the solutions was to put more money in your wallet.
Then adds a whole new set of problems putting you back where you started
Then you're left with the problem of storing an infinite number of books
Sorry if this is dumb, but is Zenos paradox the one about halfway to the wall, then half again, then half...?
Yeah something like that
Thank you! Iām shamefully incompetent when it comes to math!
oh THANK YOU ! I'm ashamed now.
If thatās the case then the first book only solved 25% too
same
buy one, read it 30 times
It will still be less than 100
It will always be ~~too soon~~ <100.
There becomes a point where your time spent reading the book becomes a problem of its own.
Forever approaching
Asymptotic problems
Not if you read them both at the same time!
Actually, it's still 50%, the second book won't solve anything the first book already solved or that the first book didn't solve. Now maybe if there was a volume 2?
Was looking for this comment :)
What if he reads both books at the same time? š¤
Yeah, but even if you solved half of your problems, what remains are now still all of your problems. You perpetually have %100 problems left.
Huh, am I stupid, it only ever halfes?

I see. And in this specific case, do you think it's additive or multiplicative?

So, long story short, I'm not dumb.
Ye
Nice.
As problems approach 0... BOOKS BECOME INFINITE.

Reminds me of the joke in my blue heaven. Steve Martin is asked why he has 26 copies of a silent book in his trunk. He replies in case I want to read it more than once
I love that movie. "I'm witchu. I'm undercover."
Seem legit to me!
Hahahahah nice
Have to buy an infinite number of books.
Read this book. Iāve now got 49.5 problems
Th ćGreen Green Grass Of HomećBook
I mean if you can read 2 books at a time 100% of problems can go away
I spent like 30 seconds trying to use the X on the left to close this
Not if read it twice simultaneously. Then it would be 100%
If you read both books simultaneously, would you solve all your problems at once?
I say you buy them at the same time. Then they both are -50% of the original value.
But what if it was the same 50% twice?

r/clevercomebacks
Keep reading and buying until your only problem is how much time and money you wasted.
If they ready it one after the other it would be 75%, but then you'd just by one book and re-read it. thats why you gotta buy 2, read both at the same time. I'd buy 3 that way im set for a long time
He could buy 12, which would get it to 99.998% solved...
Problem is you never reach the end of the book. just get infinitely closer with each turn of the page.

This is amazing.š¤£š¤£š¤£
Read two books simultaneously
Actually it'd be 75% Ā±25% I believe. š„“
Youād never solve all your problems
life doesnt exist without bad things otherwize everything would be boring.
