20% Cooler than Ice Rinsankajugin wrote:

BUT THAT VIDEO IS ONE MINUTE AND FOUR SECONDS LONG. WHERE DO YOU PULL YOUR TEN SECOND SCENARIO FROM?

SILLY HUMANS.

It's 20% cooler for every 10 seconds so it's 128% cooler!

Those ponies are everywhere!

There´s no escape…

You can try to run away…

but the Bronies will get you anyway…


Just Kidding.

One a side note, the Mandarin name they gave to bronies is "Little Horse Brothers", MLP is "Rainbow Ponies"(which kinda fits), and 4chan is 4chan.

Sheesh, doesn't anyone understand how percentages work?

If something is "20% cooler" then it's 120% as cool as it was before. By the logic you seem to be using, you mean to multiply the percentage by 6.4, right? But that's not how percentages work. If something is "20% cooler" and then "20% cooler" again, that's 120% times 120%, which is 144%. Continuing out the math--either through iterations or by raising 120% to the power of 6.4 as the difference between the two methods ends up being minimal--one ends up somewhere just north of 320%, which means the video makes them "220% cooler" (taking out the 100% one is assumed to have started with).

However, technically if we would take "cooler" literally, then "20% cooler" actually means "80% as warm", since cold is not a thing in itself, but only a lack of warmth. Therefore, one should perform similar calculations with 80%, yielding a computed value of about 24%, meaning that this video makes them "76% cooler". Just to have a basis for comparison, we'll assume for simplicity's sake that they were 80 Fahrenheit, because that converts to 27 Celsius or a nice round 300 Kelvin. Applying "76% cooler", we find them to now be 72 Kelvin, the equivalent of -201 Celsius or -330 Fahrenheit, a temperature at which all elements would be frozen solid with the exceptions of hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon (hydrogen, helium, and neon being the only ones still gaseous).

That may be inversely as cool my dumping of all that math and science into a thread on MLP.

You made my brain confuse.
