When you’re born, you’re not 1. You turn 1 at the end of the year. When you are born, you are 0 years old. Birth marks age, but birth itself can extend between two dates - labour can start on a Monday, but end on a Tuesday. Then there’s also the fact that there’s a common mistake people make - the difference is not the same as counting something.

Let’s say you’ve collected some volumes of a book series. You’ve collected volumes 17 through 21. How many volumes did you collect?

If you do 21-17, you get 4. However, that’s the difference between 21 and 17.

If you list it out and count it, you have FIVE volumes, not four.

17 18 19 20 21

It’s really about how you calculate values and mark it. If you are born on Jan 1st, 2010, you don’t turn 1 until you reach Jan 1st, 2011. However, if you’re born in August 1st, 2010, you haven’t turned 1 on Jan 1st, 2011.

It’s because most anvils were tuned to G. It was considered the original root scale step because anvils often worked best when tuned to G. But back in those days, it was called Sol (Solfège.) In french, Sol means ground, which is at the bottom. Ergo, every hammer driven by the smith was really just a sort of mating call that sent all the bottoms running to the smith’s doorstep. This is where the expression “she built like an anvil” comes from

So 50% of 50 is the same as 50% of 50. Both equal 5
