half to death    = 0.5 dead   x  2 =  1.0 dead |

| That is what I thought when I first seen it, but if you think about it if you divide a whole by two then you get a half. Divide a half by two and you get a quarter or .25 or 1/4. you wouldn't really die, but you wouldn't have much live left. If you continued your life would be less and less every time. |

First I wanted to say that you cannot die this way (actually you would sometime be closer to death than life but still alive, somehow   ).
 
 
Let's say you are alive = 100%
 
 
Scared half to death = 50%
 
 
Scared half to death again = 25%
 
 
and again = 12.5% ....
 
 
But Ronalds result is a lot better    |

Hmm but I wonder what 2% alive would be like? Five working braincells?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ahh, well, if I think about some customers I had today ....  life on 2% seems possible   |
