    Collingwood Magpies supporters are 103% more likely to have worked on their car 16 or more times in the past three months.
    How do you get 103% and as if it would be their car.

                Lets just say the average is 5%, i.e. 5% of the population worked on their car 16 or more times in the past three months.

                Now assume that amongst Collingwood supporters, 10.15% of Collingwood supporters worked on their car 16 or more times in the past three months.

                The formula is (10.15 - 5) divided by 5 = 103%

                Now having said that...yes I agree, whilst it is mathematically OK, we know that its really a case of Collingwood supporters being far more likely to be working on other people's cars after they have stolen them

                      Than who?

                      You should read some of the stuff on Pies boards. A handful of their supporters seem convinced that the AFL instructs umpires to do everything in their power to prevent them winning games. And yes, I think some really do believe this.

                        Can you steal a car that is up on blocks??
                        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                          Same same.

                          A random and invented survey of people on supporter sites or BF show they are at least 20% more paranoid than the normal population.
