How do you calculate a love percentage?

Answer 1

Yay! I used to do this all the time when I was younger. Let's do, for an example, DANIEL SMITH and MARY WHITE. What you need to do, is relate these names to the word 'LOVES'.

In DANIEL SMITH, there are this amount of the letters in 'LOVES':

L: 1 (DANIEL SMITH)

O: 0

V: 0

E: 1 (DANIEL SMITH)

S: 1 (DANIEL SMITH)

In MARY WHITE, there are this amount of the letters in 'LOVES':

L: 0

O: 0

V: 0

E: 1 (MARY WHITE)

S: 0

If you add up the totals of both people, you have:

L: 1

O: 0

V: 0

E: 2

S: 1

This leaves you with the number: 10021

Then add the numbers within this number, until you are left with a 1 or 2 digit number. Getting 100% is impossible:

1.....0.....0.....3.....1

...1.....0......3....4

.......1.....3.....7

...........4....10 (When this occurs, separate into 1 + 0)

..............5..1

= 51%

The best possible number combination is 12021, which leaves you with 99%.

This to you may seem like a very long method, but after time, you would just be able to write the word 'LOVES' and the two names, then simple write underneath the number of each letter. For example:

MARCUS JAMES and JASMINE ALLAN

LOVES

20023

2.....0.....0.....2.....3

...2.....0.....2.....5

.......2.....2.....7

...........4.....9

= 49%

I hope that this is understandable .
