Thank you. The purpose is to educate posters who struggle with the percentages concept.

If you'd like to help out as well, please feel free to start a thread discussing the basics of probability theory. That is another area of mass confusion with VJ members. Or perhaps Venn diagrams.

Or it might be a good idea to start one on the calculation of pie to the 10th decimal place 22/7 to measure the circumference of a circle because it seems for many the immigration process makes you go round in circles - just saying.

Hey Kennard buddy, there is no need to try harder. Just understand that AJ doesn't want you in his posse and you wouldn't have any luck even if you post a whole course syllabus here so you better expend your assumed pre-eminence in math elsewhere. That's just the way he is. Thanks for the good wishes by the way. I also hope that you and your new wife will have a great life together.
