Do you have evidence my maths is wrong?


If a team is 16-0, how many games do you have to go back until they actually were .500?

You say 8 games. But if you do they would then be 8-0.

For a 16-0 team to be at .500, you would have to go back 16 games to when they were 0-0.

Thus the answer is 16, not 8.

I do like this thread. Both grammatical and mathematical errors living together in harmony.

I'm not saying what would they have to do in the future to get to .500. I'm talking right now. The present. If 16 games have been played a 500 team will have won 8 games. A 16-0 team is then 8 games above the level of a 500 team (right now).

"Maths is" is not incorrect grammar, you buffoon.
