Add totals and multiply by 2 to calculate your Asian quotient.


5 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 4 = 33

33 x 2 = 66

Gene is apparently, by some inexplicable universal force, deemed 66% Asian.

Now granted, this is a very flawed metric by which to measure one's Asian quotient, but by this little gauge, I've somehow scored high enough to be 2/3rds Asian, and only 33%, or one third creamy white filling. Anyone who knows me knows that this is simply not possible. It's interesting to note, however, that the maximum possible score on this exercise is 53, or 106%. now my pitiful math skills notwithstanding, that's more Asian than anyone I know or have met.

Ah well, time for bed.
