ALL I DO IS WINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is winning? Well, that is hard to say. Typically, for someone to be a winner, they must participate in some kind of open competition. This can be anything from a boxing match, to who can chug maple syrup the fastest. Typically, a competition such as this has a goal, such as knocking the other guy’s teeth out, or chugging a whole gallon of maple syrup, then knocking the other guy’s teeth out. The person who is best at completing these goals is said to be the winner. But how do you keep track of who does this the best? Well, a scoring system is usually applied here. This score is usually displayed on a score board of some sort. Judging from the variables above, we can derive this formula: assuming score one > score two, score one=victorious. Assuming score one < score two, score two is victorious. Assuming score 1 = score two, a victor cannot be determined from the information given. If a situation such as this occurs, a period of overtime will be required. Given the variable of overtime, assuming score one + any additional scoring post overtime > score two + any additional scoring post overtime, score one is victorious. Assuming score one + any additional scoring post overtime < score two + any additional scoring post overtime, score two is victorious. A different variant of over time is also popular throughout the sports world. This is known as sudden death over time. To be properly performed, one score must result in the end of competition, with the team who scored the point taking the victory. This can be represented by the following formulas: Assuming score one = score two pre overtime, score one + 1 point + a score congruent to victory. Assuming score one = score two pre overtime, score two + 1 point = a score congruent to victory. That is what winning is.
