So wise.

taking x% is just multiplying by x/100, and multiplication is commutative. x% of y is just y×x×1/100, which is the same as x×y×1/100

you can also ignore the % and divide by 100 at the end. for example, what's 5% of 5? that might take a minute to work out. what's 25/100? you instantly know it's 1/4

No German, no swim: Language entry rule sparks debate in Germany

people in these comments seem confused; there's no physical sign that literally says "no German, no swim" on it in German, at least if there is it's not mentioned in the article or shown in the picture. the sign in the picture says "attention: only for swimmers - steep banks." people are being turned away by other people who work at the admission gate, if they don't seem able to confirm that they understand the safety rules that are being verbally explained to them
