Here's day 19 of #20minutesofcray! It's a quickie one-take wonder with Chandler's tail all up in the frame, because I started working this morning and all of a sudden it was 4 and getting dark! Doing the order for @theinkybox every month is incredibly time consuming, and almost always gives me a headache. #numbersarehard https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYSsdeBkB_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jk6wt97h9v2q

My brain likes to stop functioning every once in a while to make me lift heavier weights. Spent all morning trying to figure out why 95% felt so heavy until I realized I had 100% on the bar #NotSmart #NumbersAreHard #strongtowerbarbellclub #clean #oly #weightlifting #weightbuffet #crossfit (at Strong Tower Crossfit)

Numbers Are Hard

Billy is my Training Coordinator.  Billy has a handful of tasks and responsibilities, one of which is to grade knowledge objective-based tests for certain positions in our organization.

Billy recently graded one of our tests which has 15 questions on it.  All of the questions are equally weighted.  The person taking the test got 14 out of 15 correct.  When I reviewed the test, I saw that Billy had given them a 90% and documented this grade in the person’s training record.  I placed a post-it note on the test which read “I do not believe the grade is correct.  Can you please double check it and let me know what you find?”  I place the note and test on Billy’s chair so they easily find it when they come back from lunch.

The next day I ask Billy about the test.  “There is nothing wrong with it, I’m not sure what you are talking about.”   Billy then goes on to tell me it is basic math and how could I not possibly understand how the grade was derived.  So I ask Billy to show me on the white board how the grade was figured out.  

Silence.

So I used my idiotic math skills and demonstrated to Billy how I ended up with a different grade.  Billy looked at me like I was a total idiot.....”there is more than one to do it, you are just doing it YOUR way”, I was told.  So Billy steps up to the white board.....”Well you see, he got 14 out of 15 right....so right away I knew he got at least an A.  So 14 our of 15 is an A which means anywhere from a 90 to a 100.  Since there were only 15 questions, I figured he got a 90.  It’s like when I’m shopping and I want to know about how much of a discount I am going to get on something that is on sale.  If it is 10% off, I know I’m going to get about $10 off.  Besides, I don’t why you are asking me about this, the grade I put on there is correct.”

I tried to explain to Billy that math is math.  It is not a philosophy you combine with an incorrect way of determining discounts.  Math is math.  

“Well, maybe for you, but I know I’m right so it doesn't matter.”  

“You are right Billy, it doesn't matter...now please change that 90 to a 93.5 and file the test.”

You know that time when you miss-read your own readings? Turns out, everything was working perfectly as expected...
