*HOW TO APPEAR SMARTER THAN YOU ARE*

   This is one of my personal favorites: the ''1 in ... trick''...

   if you want to be able to impress anywhere in any group, a
   trick: learn to quickly mentally convert ''percentages'' to ''1
   in...'' style. It's easy and probably one of the few really good
   uses of math tricks that I know.

   3%= 1 in 33

   10% = 1 in 10

   20% = 1 in 5

   You restate the percentage in those terms and people ALWAYS go,
   ''oooh, he smart!''#
