Best Ever Movie - Round Two

[JohnT]

so he invalidated his own poll by not enforcing his own rule of "dividing" up 10 points among favorite movies and then by not counting a movie that qualified for the second round using the rules he allowed.

Please quote me where he specifically mentioned that one had to nominate multiple movies*.

Oh? He didn't? So what are you *****ing and moaning about?

* For those who don't want to find the original thread, here is the quote:

Round One will consist of people dividing 10 points between movies of their choice.

I chose 1 movie. I had 10 points. 10/1=10. See?

[Berzerker]

To "divide" points up presumes there are at least 2 receiving points. As for 10/1 = 10, what second pick did you give 1 point? Even the example he gave was 3 movies receiving a total of 10 points, not 1 movie getting 10.

Try 10/0 = manipulation Anyway, I changed my vote once I saw he didn't mean for us to take "divide" literally so he should have counted my 10 points toward PATTON

Yes, by all means, let us quote his instructions you manipulator.

[Frozzy]

10/1 = 10 means 10 divided by 1 equals 10

Divided by 1 is the same as divided by 5, given the context of the post.

Need I remind you of the non-bold text that mentions that the movies are of their choice? Or did you not catch that?

Btw, 1 movie != 0 movies. Unless this is that crazy "New Math" that the schools are teaching you young punks.

No it doesn't. As any 3rd grader can tell you, it is possible to divide by 1, believe it or not.

[Frozzy]

In algebra it is useful to divide by one.

x * 4/6
x/1 * 4/6

[JohnT]

See? Even higher order math allows you to divide by one. We're on the cutting edge of mathematical theory, Berz, thereby allowing us to render any internet poll meaningless with our "divide by 1" tactic.

Problem: Jack has $99 to share between himself and two friends. How much does Jack get?

$99/3 people = $33/1 person or $33 per person

Suppose Jack's two friends go home, and Jack is still to divide the $99.

$99/1 person = $99.

Ergo, Every number is x/1 = x

I thought that MOVIES with an "S" at the end was a pretty good indication that there needed to be more than one.
But then again, i guess you would have given 10 points to # 1 and 0 to # 2?

I am Jack's supercillious denominator.

Go Fight Club! Sure Chinatown, Casablanca and The Godfather are great, but they're not going to win, as too much of the forum seems to have been born in the 1990s. As for The Matrix, I was completely underwhelmed. Not only is it nothing special, its not even in the top 5 films starring the oh so wooden Keanu Reeves.

Born in the 1990s? I thought that this forum had a minimum age due to the high percentage of psychopaths using it.

80s, 90s whatever. They're all young enough to be my illegitimate children either way.
