Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics.ย
โIncreases your chances by 80%โ does not meanย โthere is now an 80% chanceโ.ย
If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%.ย
if your chances were roughly 1%, theyโre now just slightly less than 2%.ย
thats how that works.ย
Wow I donโt understand math at all
โif you have a baby after 35, the chance of deformities goes up by 100%โ is a line I hear alot.
It goes up from .5% to 1%
I think my brain just stopped working
100% is just another way of saying twice more likely. So 100% more basically means multiply the number you do have by 2.

Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s.

Hereโs the blurb:
An unexpected guest. A tempestuous liaison. A marriage falling apart.
In the eclipse of her marriage, Valerieโs days are cold and lonely. As Ethan Vertigoโs new bride, she suffers from isolation and hostility from the townspeople. That is, until an unexpected traveler appears at her door to seek refuge from the snowstormโMircalla Karnstein.
The mysterious and charming visitorโs presence is accompanied by feverish nightmares and itching puncture marks, and Valerieโs reputation is threatened when Mircalla draws her close with passionate midnight escapades.
As rumors of a plague terrorize the town and the dark secrets of Vertigo Peaks surface, Valerie struggles to reconcile her growing desire for Mircalla and her role as Ethan Vertigoโs wife.
When every love story begins with blood, does it matter who bleeds first?
Inspired by Sheridan Le Fanuโs timeless Carmilla, Vertigo Peaks is the first book in a sapphic vampire romance duology. It is best suited for mature readers.
