A Dig at You - thanks to Hermann Hesse

Acc to Hermann Hesse, a novelist, whenever you try to express anything, it is only half-said and from listener's point of view, it is only half understood.

An analogy to that statement can be drawn about writing and reading and applying maths to that analogy can lead to some funny conclusions.

1. What the novelist implies is that only 25% of what you want to express is understood... that is if the listener is listening attentively!

2. Now on the same lines, if you have fully understood whats written out here, this Hermann Hesse is wrong.

3. If you understand more than 50% of whats written then you and me are brilliant!!!

4. If you understand less than 50% and more than 25%, you can still look in the mirror with one eye. ;)

5. If you understand less than 25%, it high time you figure out yourself! :P
