Learning to count to nine

The Melbourne Victory Forum, or should that be the Intellectual Giants Forum, had the following discussion recently, starting here:

El Zilcho

Take a look here:

He was equal 5th highest scorer in the J-League this season. 7 goals from 16 apps.

petargh

5th best? did i miss something? there are 8 players on that list that have scored more than the 7 goals leandro has

jonk

look at the numbers on the left of that list

he’s equal 9th

Skeeter

Equal 5th.

jonk

Sorry Skeeter but can you read numbers

It says 9th!! Marquinos is ninth and all the players equal to him are also ninth.

NINTH!

Note that there are 8 players ahead of him. And he comes next. This makes him….

…. you guessed it, ninth.

I feel like I’m back teachers aiding for grade 2s again

jonk mate, c’mon. Look again.

He has scored the equal 5th amount of goals in the J-League.

If it actually is him…

jonk

benny

look again

count the amount of people who have more than 7 goals.

That figure is eight.

Which makes him 9th. It doesn’t matter that people above him tied. The fact remains that 8 people are above Leandro, who is 9th.

I know it’s not the real Leandro but holy crap can someone back me up here? Look over the left. That’s the positions. 1st, 2nd, 4 got players equal 3rd, then 2 players equal 7th, then 5 players equal 9th.

Ok I will explain this once more:

1st 1 UESLEI Sanfrecce Hiroshima 13 76 5/5 15
2nd 2 EDMILSON Albirex Niigata 10 64 2/2 15
=3rd 3 WASHINGTON Urawa Reds 9 65 0/2 16
=3rd 3 JUNINHO Kawasaki Frontale 9 59 0/1 16
=3rd 3 BARE Gamba Osaka 9 57 0/0 16
=3rd 3 Yoshito OKUBO Vissel Kobe 9 51 2/2 16
=4th 7 JOHNSEN Nagoya Grampus Eight 8 36 0/0 18
=4th 7 Hisato SATO Sanfrecce Hiroshima 8 42 0/0 17
=5th 9 MARQUINHOS Kashima Antlers 7 57 0/0 16
=5th 9 Tadanari LEE Kashiwa Reysol 7 17 0/0 16
=5th 9 Koji YAMASE Yokohama F･Marinos 7 43 1/2 18
=5th 9 MAGNO ALVES Gamba Osaka 7 47 0/0 17
=5th 9 LEANDRO Vissel Kobe 7 28 0/0 16

He has the 5th highest amount of goals

I corrected your post to what it should be as well. Just look at my list hard enough and you will understand. He’s equal 9th, no two ways about it.

Skeeter

Jonk, your logic makes no sense.

Bone

NO!!!! he has the 5th highest amount of goals. THEREFORE MAKING HIM THE FIFTH HIGHEST GOAL SCORER.

jonk

lol Skeeter this is how sport placing has worked for the whole of human history. Your logic makes no sense.

If EIGHT people BEAT you at something that makes you… NINTH! Who cares if 4 dudes tied on 9 goals, it means jack shit, they still beat all the people below them!!

Just look at the website, they have exactly the same understanding as me. Don’t you wonder what the numbers on the very left column mean?

hahahaha it’s so bad cos you think I’m wrong lol

IF eight people beat you that makes you ninth. What don’t you understand that simple logic?

Do you want me to list out the eight people that did better?

bennyboy123

He has scored the 5th highest amount of goals in the league. (even though its not him)

wizza

…and we wonder why we are called tards… *shakes head*

markk

What???? Eight people beat you means you are ninth?

I suppose next you’ll be telling us that bronze medalists came third.

I mean, honestly …

HoneyBee

It makes perfect sense.

Once, I got a bronze medal because the first 2 got equal Gold.

2nd placing disappears, as 1st overrides it.

Gold: Missy
Gold: Kristine
Bronze: HB.

Skeeter

oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

El Zilcho

Pity the fool who first suggested he was equal 5th…
