Default Re: Math Question

i think you are in trouble here. See i think the whole problem with this is there is a definitive worst and best for bowling 0-300. That's it. But Golf range is actually 18 and infinite. Obviously 18 is not possible and nobody sucks so much they could never finish a 18 hole course. I think this is a contest between the 2 people, not the 2 people on a scale against the rest of the world and how they could also do in the sport. Do it by percentage. For instance.

Golf
A 85
B 97

"A" did 14.1 percent better than "B" did.
(remember in this case the 85 should be equal to 100 not the 97)

Bowling

A 156
B 195

"B" did 20 percent better than "A" for a difference of 5.9 percent. "B" is the winner.
