We were having this debate at work today and there was no resolution because some people say that 100 out of a hundred is as far as you can go but on the other hand what happens if you go further. Is it possible to get more than 100%.
My in put is that it is a bit like a full cup. Once its full that's it and there is no such thing as fuller.

Yes, it's possible to go over 100%. In returns that is. Like if all you have is 100 bucks and you invest it some good weed for 100 bucks, then turn around and sell it for 220 bucks, you've made 120% profit. Err, I heard it can go that way. Anyways 120% exists!

Percentage can also be negative. If you take a buy stance JPY/USD at $1,000 with the margin of 250 and the broker fee of $10, and the next day the exchange rate plummets by 0.001, then your profit will be -$749.99, or roughly -75%.
I suppose percentage can also technically be complex-valued, although I am not aware of any examples of them being treated as such in practice, and it would kind of run against the purpose of percentages. Percentages are supposed to show how a fraction of a value compares to the value itself - but it makes no sense to compare complex-valued numbers like this. What is bigger, 1 or i? The question is not sensible, and it, in fact, can be proven that complex numbers cannot be ordered (and the proof is not terribly difficult).

Well to my mind it still defies logic how you can get 354000 out of a hundred. And what's more puzzling is that the Krauts went 50 years in to the future to get such an inflation rate which is what I would call cheating. It sounds just as unbelievable as getting a laptop for zero dollars and it doesnt end up costing you more.
