Not to name any names, but I see people here struggling with math questions (could be a result in our reliance on calculators and other modern technology, but that's a different topic).

I realize that this should probably be in the General Discussion folder, but I think it would benefit system players more then the general public.
To start off, here is a question that Schlumberger asked me during my first interview out of college:
There are 200 fish in an aquarium, 99% are goldfish. How many goldfish must be removed so that the percentage of goldfish remaining in the aquarium is 98%?
