I wonder what they'd consider 100%, you know? To my way of thinking, asking the impossible ought to be 120%, or 150%, not 100%. Like, let's say swimming records---Michael Phelps breaks the world record for something or other at 2.00 minutes....but that's only 80%. Now, if someone were to go 1.15, THAT would be 100%!
Coming from the (apparently wimpy!) US system, that's sort of what it sounds like! ;-)
(Apples and oranges, I know....it's like comparing Farenheit to Celcius...it doesn't matter what you call it, hot is still hot.)
