That was before I put on a few stone.
What if you're clever but also really, really, really good looking?
Would you have to put 5/5? That seems as if it is devaluing both though. Let's say the glamour model won a Nobel prize. She's still a 10 for looks but also for brains.
Maybe some (of us) get more points to distribute??
As an aside, I once received a handjob from a girl who had lost a bit of her thumb in a seesaw accident. You've just brought back horrendous memories.

You're assuming the points relate to magnitude, but that is not the case: they simply denote a ratio. An extremely beautiful person winning a Nobel prize would be 5/6 or 6/5 or 5.5/5.5; I might be 8/3 in favour of brains but it is not an indication that I am more intelligent than a Nobel prize winner.Would you have to put 5/5?

Besides, ratio is irrelevant. Everyone knows a 10 is better than a 5, regardless of so-called 'facts'.

I hope you're prettier than you are smart
Ratio is the only thing relevant due to the phrasing of the question. If instead of having 11 points to split, it was phrased as "your looks and brains values add up to 100%, what is the split?" then you'd understand it as a ratio (I hope). However it's impossible to say 70% is better than 32% if they are not percentages of the same thing. Your brains % could be 20% and mine could be 80%, but that doesn't mean I'm smarter than you, it could just mean I'm much, much uglier.

I suspect you're missing the flippancy in my post - a '10' is generally considered shorthand for a very good looking person (due to marks out of 10 being a nearly universally understood rating system) thus in the eyes of almost everyone (except PH stat nazis, haha) a 10 beats a 5, regardless of whether it is a ratio being expressed.
Well, that's all the fun analysed out of that one!

So a ratio of 5/5 is equally split between looks and brains? I got that thanks

You get 11 points (cause 10 is not daft enough) to spread between the 2 criteria. So if you are a Glamour model (PH: Stereotype matters) You might have 11 for Looks and 0 for Brains. Conversely, if you are a Top Scientist who looks like Sloth from the Goonies. 1 for Looks and 10 for Brains.
I gave myself 6. Brains. 5 Looks
I gave myself 6. Brains. 5 Looks

(I mean obviously 5.5 but that doesn't really work as a rating)
Never mind - it was meant to be a flippant comment so just forget it

What the elephant testicles happened to this thread? Last time I looked I was joking with MBH and now it's about as much fun as being probed inappropriately by a TV Personality....
Agreed, and I apologise for my part in that! No more pedantry. I preferred talking about the thumbless handjob anyway.
