Three friends go out for dinner at a restaurant and split the bill, each throwing in £10, making a total of £30.


The meal only came to £25 so the waiter has to give them £5 in change.

Unsure of how to split it equally between the three customers, he returns £1 each, and keeps £2 for himself.


After the friends are given £1 back, so they have now only paid £9 each instead. That makes £27, plus the £2 the waiter kept, making £29.

So where has the extra pound gone?

Its either answer A:
There is no missing pound because they've paid £27 not £29. The waiter's deposit is added to the meal bill and comes out of the £27 they've paid.

Or answer B:
Ndombele stole it to buy a doughnut.
 
Yeh, Guido 🇺🇦 Guido 🇺🇦 's pro-Sherwood agenda is all too obvious at this point....

He's not coming back, G..... Get over it! :sherwoodwtf:
I couldn't stand Sherwood but I'd have him back right now as interim over Jose, no word of a lie. The reason he wins more.

Despite his tactics of being absolutely all over the place his main priority with the team was to get them to attack, which they did. His madness lead to more goals, for which he was rewarded with more wins. Something the current fella hasn't got a clue how to do with an abundance of attacking players to pick from as well.

I'd also have ABV back if there was only a choice between these two.

You forgot to switch your sense of humour on this morning, fella. :mourbye:

VAT innit?
Or something like that, i don't speak English, I speak "American".

:mourbye:
 
Yeah they do.

I don't like it because it's literally the only place that records managerial stats this way. It's usually win %, and it's usually covers all their games like cups which aren't based on points, which is why I said every time I see it I have to recalibrate.

Depends how you want to view things I guess.... EPL being a tougher standard than early rounds of FAC, LC or EL, league stats kinda mean more I'd have thought... Especially if you're comparing vs someone like Timmy who (without checking) didn't likely play many cup games.

They paid £27 (£25 for food + £2 tip) Plus £1 change each. £30

sorry 😐

not feeling dynamic or amusing after watching the dullest match on earth (TM) yesterday

It's not about taking a number and viewing it with a slant or not. It's just remembering that MyfootballFacts is the only stat site (that I know of) that reports Manererial performance metric as % of available points. All others do it on win %, be that a stand-alone win % of PL and/or Cup or bundle all of them together. It's merely this I find irritating. If they all adopted the same metric, I don't care which, it's no bother.
