127% stupid
3.14% circular reasoning

I believe this post makes this thread 100% full according to magellan's theorem

stop writing ratios wrong!

they're writen like, for example
1:1 (real life size)
1:2 (half real life size)
2:1 (twice real size)

Can you confirm or infirm this? I give you 10 days.

Prove for this has been found last year I think. If I remember correctly it was found with help of a computer by recursively using some other heorems.

- JNOV

Adding any external fuel stores would result in the plane carrying more than 100% relative to it's internal capacity, but not it's max capacity(100%), which of course could never be exceeded .

You can never exceed a max capacity, you can only increase it .

What percentage did you throw on?

Samm,

Have you considered just not carrying drop tanks perhaps?

TracerX · « **Reply #87 on:** August 20, 2002, 03:12:54 PM »

This reminds me of something... oh yeah, who is on first, what is on second, and I don't know is on third. Hmmm..., now how did this conversation end up? Maybe we could try to get to the bottom of this instead.

TracerX · « **Reply #88 on:** August 20, 2002, 03:27:51 PM »

LOL BenDover, you bring tears to my eyes!

By the way, it is stupid idiot, followed by your such a moron.
