100% of 7 = 7
15% of 10 = 1.5

7 > 1.5

I really like this analysis.

What screws me up is the serious bf part, you have no chance of getting with her. Go for the 7. If there were no serious bf, I would go for the 10 even if I still only had a 10% chance...

Except for people I knew in college, most weekends it was

5% of 10

50% of 7

100% of 4


So while this formula will say 4 > 3.5 > 0.5

I'd rather have the 7 and beat off every other weekend than get go for the 4.
