Maybe they should write "three times as the usual" instead of three hundred percent, because there is no three hundred percent.
percent means "divided by one hundred", and is supposed to be a part of a hundred, not more. Is what Rudolph was trying to say in that charming way.
300% has a more dramatic effect.
1974 was really bad and the mid 1930's was a very bad year -- so it seems maybe like about every 40 years it goes nutz;
