You mean subtract 15% and then add 15%, i assume. And you're correct, subtracting 15% from 100 gives you 85 but adding 15% to 85 only gives you 97.75 A workaround to this that i find easier to understand is to multiply 100 by the result of 1 - 0.15, the 0.15 representing your 15% (because by subtra...

Driving in the empty lane at the same speed as the full lane creates the perfect conditions for this, that's why the moment someone does it, the whole thing flows better.

Brilliant!

Still, no. 'Blending' early increases the tailback. If everyone uses every available lane, as long as it is available and merges in turn then traffic will flow better and the impact of the tailback will be minimised.You shouldn't have to stop to let people in as you should be leaving adequate space...

That said, much that I dislike those screaming to the front to push in, I think I dislike those that slow down and give a friendly flash to wave them in just before the cones even more. Come on! At least try and stop them getting away with it!

If it be your will

If both lanes are moving, then 'zip merging' as stated, would work. However, on our roads, you join a queue of stationary traffic and remain stationary forever. Why? Because the tossers who think they can just carry on right to the cones and push in, ahead of the patient lane queuers!!!!! I applaud...

You're doing it wrong. The way I did it is right, and the way I know it's right is because you can convert the percentages into numbers, do all the working out with numbers, and then convert them back into percentages to get the same result as if you'd just done it my way originally. I'm sure there...

Hey! You have a go at working out the mathematically correct way to predict the % Burnley Labour+leave vote then! It's not easy when you don't do it every day. (Or at all, in my case.)

If it be your will

Burnley voted 66.6% leave, which is 28.35% higher than the 51.89% national average. So take the 30% Labour leave vote, increase it by 28.35%, and you get 38.5% of Labour voters in Burnley voted leave. Turtle calculated that one.

That's not a bad summary at all.

Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been $25.
