100 blogs is pretty significant right? Well no, not really, I am not actually sure.
There are 100 cents in a dollar, 100 pennies in a pound. 100cm in a metre and a 100 years in a century.
Yet 100 minutes constitutes 1 hour 40 mins, 100 days is 14.285 weeks, 100 weeks is 1.916 years, 100 inches is 2.54 metres and 100 ounces is 2.957 litres. It's all over the place!

So why is 100 mark so significant?
Well it is a composite number, it can evenly be divided by 2, 4, 5, 10, 29, 25 and 50. Percentages are maximum 100. It is relevant in maths, science, history and other such stuff.
However given all that I am not sure I really get the significance of a hundred, except that its a nice round number.
Any smart people out there want to educate me. Please feel free......
Not a chance! Numbers are my weak spot ... but congrats on reachng your 100th post! That's a lot of writing, musing and discussing. Looking forward to the next 100

ReplyDeleteA little comment from Mr. Smart-Ass: "How can 100 be evenly divided by 29(!) ? "
ReplyDeleteWe are stumped (clearly I involved the hubby here). Even the Internet provided nothing. Come on Mr. S-A do tell.........
ReplyDelete??? ... you have to tell me, isn't that what you wrote in your 6th paragraph ? Quote:".. it can evenly be divided by 2, 4, 5, 10, 29, 25 and 50..."
ReplyDeleteAGHHHHHHHHHHHH now I get it!!
DeleteOoppps I think a typo was at play here!!!
You had me and my hubbie googling for this mathematical challenge, best we ended up with was leap year !!!
Thanks for solving the mystery :-)
