Going well for a college full of mathmos - can't add up to 100

Rachel said: can't add up to 100

Errr... It says 'select one or more options' so it doesn't need to add up to a hundred. the percentage of the people who have voted who chose a given option is shown.

And to add to the last post, it's hardly as though all of the options are mutually exclusive (i.e they can be barking and brave, brave and brilliant, barking and brilliant, or all of the three), so you'd expect that it would add up to more than 100%

Are the options orthogonal?

i.e. Can you be 100% brave while being 0% brilliant?

I would suggest that FaT rowers would think not, therefore indicating that there should be some constraint on which values are allowed.

What is it?
