An insane person's attempt at math

I was blessed to have received another email today from the high school reunion "committee":

Subject: Time for a Simple Random Math Thought-YHS 20th Reunion Banquet

Note-If you are still being contacted regarding the YHS Class of '89 Reunion Banquet, and do not wish to receive any further communications on this subject, it is because you have NOT contacted the Reunion Committee to inform us to cease contact with you.

If this is your request, please send a Facebook Inbox e-mail to either Todd or Monica requesting no further contact. We will remove you from the Facebook Group Page (Blog writer's sidenote: A-HA! I was right!) so you will not continue to receive unwanted contact. You can rejoin the group at anytime. Thanks, in advance.

The YHS Class of '89 Reunion Committee

Simple Math Random Thought......

The committee needs 129 tickets sold for the Reunion Banquet event to take place as scheduled on August 22, 2009.

129/2 = 64.5 Alumni and 64.5 Friends/Spouses/Significant Others

The YHS Class of 1989 had 345 Graduates

Using the 64.5 figure from the alumni purchasing tickets to the reunion banquet
64.5/345 = 19%......Just 19% of the actual alumni would need to purchase tickets to the reunion banquet for it to occur.

It would be truly sad if the Reunion Banquet was canceled because 19% of the alumni could not support the event.

Are you in the 19%?

Wow. They must really have a low turnout so far. This is exciting.

LOL

You should start the YHS 20th Reunion Banquet Over/Under Pool Facebook Page.

LOVE THAT IDEA! I think that's what I will be creating over lunch today.

Ed said...

You should save all these communications and put them in a scrap book and give it to her on your 30th reunion so she can realize what a snob she was.

Oh man, both Bone and Ed have great ideas!!!!!

The thing is, if you make that facebook page, I think you need to make it public and then link to it on your blog so we can all enjoy it.

There is a demonic element in all reunions. Sage trying to read blogs via a cell phone and who doesn't understand why he can only post on some blogs...

Murf said...

Well the idea of Sage being so technologically advanced that he can read and post only to the important blogs via his cell phone is demonic. :-)
