It's the cat's meow #65



Boy, did I ever have problems trying to explain what I was thinking at the start. Does anyone else remember these from childhood? Think of someone you fancy, take the number of Ls, Os, Vs, Es and Ss in your names, then keep adding the digits together to make a percentage. Like this

3, 2, 1, 3, 2
(3+2), (2+1), (1+3), (3+2)
5, 3, 4, 5
(5+3), (3+4), (4+5)
8, 7, 9
(8+7), (7+9)
15, 16
(1+5), (5+1), (1+6)
...

And so on. So of a reverse Pascal's Triangle. Anyway, I've no idea what they were called so I had to spell it out in a rather wordy opening frame.
