Just to make things even more cranky, if you want to work on aircraft in most of the civilised world, you have to read, write and speak in English. I won't quote chapter and verse at the mo' as my books on Simplified English for the aircraft trade is not "readily to hand", as the expression goes.

Slipstreem (14/01/2008)
Alcohol proof is measured in degrees, not in percent.
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
Offically the UK uses the ABV or alcohol by volume system (EU standard) which states percentage alcohol by volume at 20C but the degrees proof are also used.
Reagent grade and industrial alcohols are always be graded with a percentage but drinking alcohol may use the traditional degrees.

They give 100% and the steroids give then an extra 20%. Makes sence to me.
Back to the OP, any form of growth, be it speed, temp, time, money can go over 100%.
Earn £10k in 2006 then earn £30k 2007 = 200% increase in earnings, fact!
