@AI2O3 do not think I have followed it accurately . Never mind. Apologies ..I am not perfect ..damn!

@Al203
My understanding was that if 2 of their things about themselves applied to you then you can say "Oh I am 20% of yours username ".
Then you write down 10 things about yourself...not necessarily including the 2 things in common.

Sometimes there are x posts and people get missed out because it does take some time to write...I type slowly. .. 1 thing I have in common with one of the aforementioned posters.

Let’s try out the logic out a bit. I think we will end up at blended percentages like 10.8333 or 16.6667 or 56.66667 if more people cross post against each other.

It’s like black and white rabbits breeding. I think you are all right. Or at least none of you are wrong.

Poster A says ten things. Poster B says “20%” and then posts their things. Poster A sees poster B does one thing Poster A does but didn’t mention it before. Suddenly we are at 3/11 which is 27.272727%.

If we progress, through all possibilities we get to the bell-shaped curve.

In the context of this thread it is discrete percentages of 10%, 20%, etc. But it isn’t. It’s anywhere in infinity.

Only because - I guess - the original thread rules were wrong. But they weren’t.

So kind of 🤷🏻‍♀️ and that’s good because the more we talk the more we realise we are:

🌷 All the same

and

🌷 Different

Anyway AntHilda 40% (or in the region of 40% to 99% ish).
