Well, 41 would imply 41/1 = 41, so...

I don't understand, could you please elaborate?

x = x/1 = x is true for all numbers, no?

I mean to say that

41 implies 41/1 instead of 41/100 (41%) or 41/1000.

So 41 attempts per person.

It is supposed to be my attempt at humour.

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend you.

I'm still not sure if I understand the intended joke. An average of 41 attempts per person sounds horrific. I'm sure there is something that's going over my head, it's some kind of dark humor, correct?

I dunno. Maybe I'm just bad at making jokes, but you got the point.

41/1 = 4100/100 = 4100%

Weereas,

41% = 41/100 = 0.41
