What is with all the people with their scroll logic

I've seen like three of those threads already, and they're all saying stuff like 2/3 (66.66666) + 1/3 (33.33333) = 3/3 (99.99999) or some variant of that with another denominator. They are trying to prove that those 100% scrolls have the possibility of failure because there are going to be a limited number of 9s in the program.

But (correct me if I'm wrong) why would the programmers use a denominator of 3, or 9? Every % scroll in the game is a multiple of 5, so I figure the programmers are going to make the percentages work with denominators of 20, or 100.

And another thing. A 3/3 is a 3/3, nothing more nothing less. If you had a pie and had 3/3 pieces, you are not missing some infinitesimally tiny sliver.

SO STOP IT WITH THE FAULTY LOGIC PLEASE D:

I liked the pie pieces part

[quote=kelvin8604]if it was something like,

attack += 5
then, hacking ms would be a piece of cake.[/quote]

if it were gm scroll is 99.999%(cont.), then hacking a 20% scroll to 99.999999999% would be just as easy

@Shmink: No, Maplestory characters don't have em. They don't pee or poop anyways.
You can lick my jag's wang wang if you please please.
@Request: Now, why would the programmer's use 9 as a denominator? -_- That was one of my first points, lol.

I agree with you in the sense that I highly doubt 100% scrolls fail. But (just saying), 3/3 is not necessarily 3. It's almost like how 1 = .9 repeating (eg. 1/3 = .3 repeating, thus .3 repeating times 3 would equal .9 repeating, not 1).

coding will be like this
if gm scroll is used, then add 5 att to weapon
