Because someone asked for it.
What is the punchline?
No one! don't state the punchline otherwise who ever is is an assholey.
I didn't see anything that implied that and I am NOT a mind reader.

How about those with a lot of knowledge but little experience?
How about combined intelligence from both or two separate things?
How about if someone's knowledge was in fragments and not percentage?
Answering these correctly may convince me.
Well experience has little to do with knowledge. How much data you change into information can represent your experience, because to associate other bits of data to make sense of it you need to have experience of that data before.
Your intelligence would be the ratio of information to knowledge, the amount of knowledge you extract from the information you recieve. I'm not sure I can say it any other way.
The percentage was really just an example. It's not like you can actually apply numbers to calculate these sort of things.
However, I didn't intend the subject of the writing to be in debate. I was looking for some critiquing on the actual writing. Like this:
Thanks Yahtzee. Duly noted.
What the hell is the "writer for msn.com" thing about?

I think that the ratios are not all the same for everybody depending on the type on intelligence gained in each person and the information collected from the experiences. One type of intelligence gained for something specific might mostly be redundant for another subject or one that doesn't require it at all. Maybe for a set of people who collected the same information in the same place who did the same things and succeeded in the same way. Now that might be fair to compare their intelligence in ratios for that particular system but it can be rigid as the people who calculate it may fail to recognize or miss out on fragments that are not required for that system resulting in other's intelligence to be degraded due to not being recognized in an area foreign to that particular system. - Just my thoughts
It reminds me of a story about some monkeys who went to another forrest but they couldn't crack the nuts which the native monkeys normally do.
You mean proof of your experience? That I can understand.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

The second one. Again, mathematics has nothing to do with it. You really can't calculate these things.
Well here is a little article I wrote for no apparent reason:
Due to the increase in demand, the price of ass has risen 43 cents.
The value of life has decreased due to its newest competitor, the Nintendo Wii, dominating the market. Representatives of Nintendo have stated that the Wii should replace life in all homes by mid 2008. The Wii's success has been credited to its efficient way of making it feel like your doing something when you are really going no where. The current life has been called "an out dated system that takes more effort and money but produces less sastifactory results." God, the creator of the original life has released that a new version of life is in research, but due to dwindling funds, may never be completed.
Critics of the Wii claim that it can cause injuries to the wrist and other people. These people have been cited as retarded and/or fat.
Stupidity is up 326.5 points.

And I valued your opinions. Untill I got told I had schizophrenia.
These are just the little pieces of writing that come from my blog on bebo.
Has anyone else wondered how much of Yahtzee's time we're wasting with these forums?
