Headscratcher: for the mathematician inside you

[U1]

Everybody, take your calculator! It's maths time!
If you were to rank your favorite albums of U2, so that it all adds up to one hundred percent.
I decided to do the last two decades but if you wanna do them all, be my guest.

1. Achtung baby 23%
2. Pop 22%
3. HTDAAB 21%
4. ALTYCLB 16%
5. Zooropa 12%
6. Passengers 4%
7. Best of 80-90 1%
8. Best of 90-00 1%

Yes! And without any calculator! Great, now I'm late for work!
Good luck!

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

1. Achtung baby 24%
2. HTDAAB 22%

7. Best of 80-90 3%
8. Passengers 1%

Percentages ?? ... Who cares about percentages !!

It seems unfair to include the Best Of albums really - save for a couple of new songs, we've heard them all before already!

Btw, I can't be arsed trying to do this and I'm a maths undergrad

So I was actually going to post a serious response to this question. Except my list starts out like this:

Achtung Baby 50%

And after that, I realized that despite being in accounting and being able to manipulate numbers with the best of them, there's no way in hell I can make a list that comes up to 100%

 

[AcrobatMan]

1) TJT - 28
2) UF - 16
3) AB - 12
4) Pop - 12
5) War - 6
6) Rattle and Hum - 6
7) Boy - 5
8) October- 5
8) ATYCLB - 4.5
9) HTDAAB - 4.5
10) Zooropa - 1

give all option marks out of 10....then sumtotal all marks...

and % of each album - marks obtained out of 10 for this album/ sum total of all marks given to all albums... ..multiplied by 100 ofcourse

this is an approximation u can use
