Only because you asked nicely ...

Percentages are the most evil of mathematical expressions.

They can make things sound great, when in fact the result is very much lackluster.

For instance. Let's say I have 9 pieces of pie and you have 1 piece. Together we have 10 pieces which is 100%. I have 90% and you have 10%.

I suddenly get 7 more pies and you get 3, which means I have 16 pies and you have 4.

Although I am getting more and more pies than you, your percentage just went up and mine went down!!!

I now have 80% while you have 20% ... absurd, isn't it?!?

So, it was you that took all the pies!
