Does everyone know the 80/20 rule?

Posted by curtm on May 4, 2006, at 12:58:57

Does everyone know the 80/20 rule?
If not, I will tell you...

Example:
80% of the people here do 20% of the posting.
20% of the people here do 80% of the posting.

The 80/20 rule applies to everything.

Or there's always the "I don't really give a shint!" rule, too.

 

What have you got against shints? :-D (nm) » curtm

for instance:

80% of the total number of automobile drivers are responsible for 20% of the total number of automobile accidents.

The other 20% of the total number of automobile drivers are responsible for the other 80% of the total number of automobile accidents.

 

Sorry- totally meaningless thread- (nm)

So, 80% of statistics apply to 20% of people,
20% of people are defined by 80% of statistics.
but if 80% of the remaining 20% of people are represented by 20% of the remaining 80% of the statistics then 80% + 20% of the 100% of us are significantly confused.

This thread made me smile today -- quite an accomplishment, considering how my day went.

THANK YOU, Curt, for posting something that was so entertaining -- possibly because it *was* meaningless. My life has way too much meaning, so I need that sort of thing.

Thank you, and don't apologize. I, for one, wouldn't have you any other way.

I LOVE the way you think!
You made me read that about 4 times over!
