>In a job interview>They ask me what 5% of 5000 is>I say 100Picrel
was this a cashier position?
>>61019476thats pretty stupid anon
>>61019476Dude its obviously 500
>>61019490Funny becausw that's what I thought too until I realized I'm retarded
>>61019476Say "who cares?"
>>61019476Most people can't do basic math like this with or without a calculator. I'm convinced that's why the vast majority of people on 4chan will never get rich from stocks or crypto. How can you calculate risk vs reward if you can't do basic math?
>>61019476Had to think about it for a fucking while.Ended up doing the stupid double step shit where I find 10% of 5000 to get 500 first then halved it to get 250.
>>61019527https://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/ustat/ustat0301-01.htm>Overworked or incompetent lawyers may overlook evidence of retardation and fail to request a psychological evaluation or raise the issue during trial. At times, even competent lawyers who are anxious to help their clients may fail to identify their clients' retardation or may be unable to access funds for a psychological evaluation.>· Oliver Cruz, who was executed in Texas on August 9, 2000, had an I.Q. that was measured variously at 64 and 76. Cruz nonetheless insisted to reporters that, although he was perhaps "slow in reading, slow in learning," he was not mentally retarded.>· Mitigation specialist Scharlette Holdman recalled a client who so successfully hid his retardation from his attorneys that he allowed them to sign him up for college-level calculus classes, which he could not comprehend. He had gone through much of his schooling allowing his younger sister to complete his homework for him. When he was given papers to read in connection to his case, he would carefully stare at them. If he was asked a substantive question, he usually responded, "I don't recall." Only when experts in retardation evaluated him and investigators reviewed his school records and spoke to his family did lawyers discover he had mental retardation and had been considered "slow" since his early childhood.>· Another capital defendant "hid his mental retardation for most of his life by working at a very repetitive job as a switcher on the railroad. He lied about finishing high school. He was actually in special education classes and did not finish the sixth grade. He was drafted into the army and discharged because of his mental retardation. He lied about his service record. He often made things up so that people would not suspect mental retardation."
>>61019476am I retarded in that I had to calculate 10% of 500 in my head first and then half that to get 250 instead of just knowing it was 250
>>61019594Don't copy me nigger.
>>61019594you are retarded for thinking 5% of 500 is 250, yes.
>>61019607>you are retarded for thinking 5% of 500 is 250, yes.uhhhhh anon....he said 5% of 5000which is 250
>>61019486senior investment analyst
>>61019546I heart you fren
>>61019476you were close!
>>61019476>1% of 5000 is 50>multiply it by 5I did this while drunk
Dont you have a calculator?
There's always welfare and blue-collar crime.
>>61019521kek'd. chad answer
welcome aboard
>>61019476shouldve said hash map
>>61019617it would seem you are also retarded, as the anon I replied to said>am I retarded in that I had to calculate 10% of 500 in my head first and then half that to get 250 instead of just knowing it was 250
>>61019476since my last interview, I feel that the best thing you can do is try to be as social and funny (in a respectful way) as possible with the guy, I didn't know shit about the job, and yet I still got it because my interviewer liked mesometimes I joke that I just gamble with things like npc and dogs and masturbate while I work, and the dude is considering me for a promotion, just be nice kek
"Give me 5% of 652503">remove last 2 numbersThats 6525, * 5>round down to give a faster answer (optional)6500 *5 = 6000*5 + 500*530000+2500 = 32500
>>61019546Why is the double step shit stupid? It sounds like the optimal approach.
>>61021489yes. i mean triple digit IQ people know that 5% is 1/20 but even then you would do 1/10 * 1/2 in your head, so in the end everyone uses two steps.
>>61019476So if I can answer stupid questions like this I can finally get a good job?
>>61021423Or just remove last digit to make number 65250 then divide it by 232650 , not quite it but pretty close
>>61019571why is being retarded a legal defense what the actual fuck
>>61019476Quick, easy way. Move the decimal 2 places in your head. Thats 50. Which is 1%. Now multiply by 5.Voila. 5%. 250.
>>61019546Are you retarded?
>>61019527alex gerko says this too.
>>61019476dont feel bad I would have said 500
>>61019476I would have said 500 lol
>>61019476I can't even function through life without my ChatGPT buddy.
>>61019546I calculated 1% and multiplied it by 5 because I'm a terminator(The 10% method is quicker but it only works when the numbers are good like 5 and 10)
>>61019476jobs are gay anyway.
>>61022069Would your method work on weird decimals like 5% of 2157?I feel like I can get just mentally get a few steps into solving it but then it all fades away like my brain is too lazy that it gives up and I can't keep track of all the numbers. It's frustrating because it's not really that hard it's just I seem incapable of remembering the numbers as I go, the moment I try to calculate next one the old ones vanish or morph.Is there any supplements that would help the brain from giving up like this? Or is it just a matter of practicing that you just end up better at it?
would have said 250 and I am SHIT at maths - 10% = 500 - so half of 500 = your answer. its a good question to weed out sub-100 iq monkeys I guess
>>61019476>pull out phone>open calculator app>do .05*5000>tell them answer
>>610194761% of 5000 = 50Multiply by 5
>>61019571>experts in retardation
>>61022602I have over ten thousand hours in competitive online games. You could say I'm a bit of an expert, myself.
>>61022069Same
