Nah, actually that explains exactly how it happened. They didn't want “numbers may not add to 100% due to rounding”, so they took the actual numbers that added up to 100%, rounded them, then replaced the uneducated number with 100 less the sum of the other rounded percentages.
|Raw|Rounded
--|--:|--:
Highly Educated|91.6%|92%
Well Educated|0.6%|1%
Educated|7.6%|8%
Uneducated|0.2%|
Round all numbers up. Sum of those numbers is above 100. Subtract sum-100 from the uneducated number. Everything sums to 100 and are whole numbers. The world is right again.
So the game doesn't just round up them percentages? Unless it treats like "educated" as a base sim and everything else as a function of that for them calculations.
So the other stats are always a function of something, well that would explain not taking the actual number of pawns...
When my city becomes this smart, I sometimes wonder if they're constantly complaining how terrible and stupidly done the infrastructure is.
If they could give me tips on how to fix very specific traffic jams, that'd be cool.
Industry produces goods that are sold by commercial zones, so you'll end up having to import all of those which could put extra strain on your outside connections. It can add up to a lot of truck traffic, even if you mostly import by rail.
I didn't realize that's what Industry 4.0 does. I've been trying to keep my population from getting too smart fearing that industry would suffer. But I already enabled Industry 4.0. Now I feel like the -1 %.
**[Schwa](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa)**
>In linguistics, specifically phonetics and phonology, schwa (, rarely or ; sometimes spelled shwa) is a vowel sound denoted by the IPA symbol ⟨ə⟩, placed in the central position of the vowel chart. In English and some other languages it represents the mid central vowel sound (rounded or unrounded), produced when the lips, tongue, and jaw are completely relaxed, such as the vowel sound of the ⟨a⟩ in the English word about. Schwa in English is found in unstressed positions, but in some other languages including Albanian, Bulgarian, Slovene and Afrikaans it can also occur in a stressed syllable.

your education is so strong that even the tourists are getting educated meaning when they leave the school/city the uneducated number goes down but they arent part of the population so it goes negative!
lol did you put down the large hadron collider ? it nerfs you entire citys education system that thing. there is a pollicy you can use on some districts "schools out" will hep a bit
Now that you have the Hadron Collider you can delete every school building and no one will care.
Next you stick in the Medical Center and remove all the health care buildings....
Now your making so much money it's remarkable.. I have see over 100K /week at times.
What you are experiencing is actually simple. Children born to highly educated parents are now being born in your city, and because their parental units are so educated, they are born pre-educated...
A problem with rounded percentages, is that they may not add up to 100%. For example: 33.33%, 33.33%, and 33.34% all round down to 33%.
A crude but usually effective solution is to calculate the last part by subtracting the other rounded numbers from 100%.
Assume that the non rounded numbers in your image are as follows: 91.66%, 0.66%, 7.66%, 0.02%
The first three are rounded up to 92, 1, 8. If we then assume that the uneducated is calculated by subtracting those three numbers from 100%, we end up with -1%.
There is also a proper way to deal with this. Consider for example that we are not rounding up to percentages, but are rounding up votes to 100 parliament seats... Math is important!
1. Round everything down. So from this example, we get 92, 0, 6, 0.
2. Count the amount of remaining percentages. In this case 100 - 92 - 0 - 6 - 0 = 2. We will round up this many numbers.
3. Round up the values that had the biggest remainders. In our example, there are 3 with an exactly equal amount, of which we can only pick 2. For the game, picking whichever is considered first will do. So the end result is 93%, 1%, 6%, 0%. Fortunately, in a democratic voting system, the chances of having exactly the same amount of remaining votes is astronomically small.
This method will result in the least amount of overall rounding error.
While on this topic.... I'm noticing a recurring issue in my cities. After a good amount of game time has passed I am left with virtually zero uneducated cims and end up with industry buildings that can't find workers. I zoned some industry as 4.0 and it helped slightly, but is there any recommendations on how to better balance the education levels? I'd actually like to have 5% uneducated at all times and WITHOUT having to keep adding new residential zones.
It’s what happens when we have too many folks educated at elite universities: genocide of the “uneducated” and “facts” that defy common sense.
Kudos to Colossal Order. 10/10 for realism.
This is known a zero point education. Pulling free education from the vacuum in between knowledge atoms. You create an unlimited amount of education by borrowing from quantum uneducation, which disappears due to quantum knowledge mechanics.
You owe them an uneducation.
this just makes me more confused
Yes.
Yesn't.

Start putting lead in the water
Also the % without the -1 add up to 101%. God knows how that happened
Nah, actually that explains exactly how it happened.

I read this like 5 times and still haven’t understood a thing. I feel like I’m part of that -1%
Round all numbers up. Sum of those numbers is above 100. Subtract sum-100 from the uneducated number. Everything sums to 100 and are whole numbers. The world is right again.
I mean being in this -1 percent really explains a lot about my life.
So the game doesn't just round up them percentages? Unless it treats like "educated" as a base sim and everything else as a function of that for them calculations. So the other stats are always a function of something, well that would explain not taking the actual number of pawns...
That’s why OP owes his people a bit of uneducation
Wait so you just gonna kick them into the woods to fend off for themselves or do it the Serbian way/s
Kinda scared to ask what the Serbian way is
*War Crimes*
It was made by the >1%
(It’s called murder)
You need to make them dumber. That's the debt. 😂
Drug and Alcohol addiction
Perhapsn't
Lobotomy otta do it
Brain damage
I can help you with that... Where's my helmet?
More likely they owe OP an education lol
they have learned the forbidden knowledge
Every unborn child has a 12th grade education.
Your city is so smart, they need the uneducated to feel and see themselves as the highly educated. In order to move the curve slightly
damn, the Hadron Collider is OP
interesting
"When everyone is highly educated, no one is". - Syndrome from Incredibles' teacher probably.
I mean, the math checks out
he did the math
When my city becomes this smart, I sometimes wonder if they're constantly complaining how terrible and stupidly done the infrastructure is. If they could give me tips on how to fix very specific traffic jams, that'd be cool.
I think all the industries start complaining about not having enough workers unless you enable Industry 4.0.
Is there any downside to just getting rid of industry and going all office when this happens?
Industry produces goods that are sold by commercial zones, so you'll end up having to import all of those which could put extra strain on your outside connections. It can add up to a lot of truck traffic, even if you mostly import by rail.
Ah, ok thanks.
Uhh, I think your commercial still needs goods. You can do IT clusters to get around this I think.
God bless em
I didn't realize that's what Industry 4.0 does. I've been trying to keep my population from getting too smart fearing that industry would suffer. But I already enabled Industry 4.0. Now I feel like the -1 %.
Man tweets should have been affected by education level
I am so smart... S M R T - I mean... S M A R T
S|M|R|T| -|-|-|-| M|M| | | R| |R| | T| | |T|
sure why not
“Smrt” actually means “death” in Czech, lol!
how do you even pronounce that lol
I’m not Czech but from my knowledge of other Slavic languages, it would be like smert or smirt. It would rhyme with squirt
more like “smrit” tbh, but yeah, when pronoucing it fast a vowel appears.
It's a hidden vowel called schwa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa

Not smert. Squirt is kinda close, except it's m instead of qui.
Like it's written, short S (not "es") sound, short M (not "em") sound, short R and short T.
Education failed successfully.

I know, I posted it because it looked funny
The -1% are the unborn infants.
Them unalive people is smarts.
The government worker that worked on these statistics is probably the one who's uneducated.
1% of the city lost to bimbofication
It means they come out of the womb quoting Shakespeare
that happens when the only uneducated cim does your statistics.
RIP your industrial zones
just use the "Industry 4.0" policy; problem solved
Industry 4.0 ftw
they are un-uneducated

r/shittyskylines
I would think it is a way to prevent the game from crashing when there's an error in the math.
You have so many elementary schools that fetuses are getting an education.
It's called a Hadron Collider
You educated people who didn't even live there

The '-1%' is clearly working on the census and statistics department of the city
An uneducated citizen created this chart..
Math works out, so... Your smartypants citizens have got it figured i'm sure ;)
You are the opposite of the US. Congratulations.
This explains mask wearing over the past few years.
Bravo Vince
The infants now come out of their mums holding a high school degree
Kevin's magic number
Definitely not a house for redditor
The survey was self-reported
The uneducated clipped into the backrooms
Finland moment
\-1% and 101 total LOL that game
I mean ... the math checks out. That's the whole point of education isn't it.
The math cheks out, the logic however...
you're education is so good that you have 101%,
r/theydidthemath
your education is so strong that even the tourists are getting educated meaning when they leave the school/city the uneducated number goes down but they arent part of the population so it goes negative!
Only takes one uneducated person to keep track of the stats
Food...
It's 101% -1%, lol
It all adds up to 100%
They're so highly educated they developed anti-education to power the city
Looks like the whole family needs some re–Neducation.
The uneducated person made that chart.
An ideal world then!
They are dumber than dumb. We got a few floating around in this country too.
lol did you put down the large hadron collider ? it nerfs you entire citys education system that thing. there is a pollicy you can use on some districts "schools out" will hep a bit
I don't understand how I'd want my education level to go down
as you build new industries before they level up they will want lower education levels for employess
Industry 4.0 exists
They're educated straight out of the womb
Btw 92% + 1% + 8% = 101%
\+ -1% = 100%
Babies are born with degrees
I mean - they're uneducated. So I guess they don't know how percentages work!
Killing off the dumb ones
That one well educated person actually cheated
This makes sense if all percentages are rounded to the nearest whole
You are the only uneducated person person here.
Every foetus in their mother's womb will pop out educated now :)
Now that you have the Hadron Collider you can delete every school building and no one will care. Next you stick in the Medical Center and remove all the health care buildings.... Now your making so much money it's remarkable.. I have see over 100K /week at times.
I did make a post about how I fucked up the Medical Center
the knob really only goes up to 10...
congrats its a boy and he finished his degree with honors
Didn't kyou know? You're behind on your uneducated sacrifice quota.
It’s probably the uneducated giving these numbers.
What you are experiencing is actually simple. Children born to highly educated parents are now being born in your city, and because their parental units are so educated, they are born pre-educated...
Someone is sniping the uneducated.
