Talk:37% rule

Untitled
Doesn't this article need to explain why this (is thought to?) works?Talltim (talk) 16:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * yes it does, and the external reference does so, but i didn't have time to rewrite it. i don't believe cut and paste would be legal, though the original author might give consent. Spot (talk) 16:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, just read the ext ref, (without actually following the maths!) and it does give the reasoning behind the 37% figure. I can see that to explain it all fully would be a lengthy business (as it is in the article). Mind you, it does miss out a vital part of the problem (which is not a problem with this article as it is about the concept) in that how do you know when you have reached 37% of a variable? ;-) Talltim (talk) 22:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge. There might be useful references here I guess. Otherwise, the thing being covered is the same. Melcombe (talk) 15:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge. Yup that's it. The only useful thing here are the references, and the name "the 37 percent rule". Spot (talk) 15:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I included the relevant info into the target page. This one can be deleted now. Spot (talk) 22:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
