This may not be suitable for all audiences but what the heck.

I don't know where the debate team found this but it is hanging on thier door.

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes something like this:
What makes 1005?
What does it mean to give more than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more then 100% in life?
Here's a mathematical formula that might help you answer those questions:
If we represent
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
As:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26
Then
H-a-r-d w-o-r-k
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98%
and
K-n-o-w-l-a-d-g-e
11+14+15+23+12+1+4+7+5=96%
but
A-t-t-i-t-u-d-e
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100%
and
B-u-l-l s-h-i-t
2+21+12+12+20+8+9+20=103%
Now look how far Asskissing will get you:
A-s-s-k-i-s-s-i-n-g
1+20+20+11+9+20+20+9+14+7=118%
So one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while hard work and knowledge will get you close and attitude will get you there, bullshit and asskissing will put you over the top.

Actually... Knowledge has an "E", not an "A", but you still get 96%.

/me does some math
Yeah, it would still be 96%.

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96%
