[Avodah] Abra(ha)m Received An A+

[Rich, Joel]

Or ten perdec, or a thousand permil, or twelve perdoz, or any other
divisor one wishes to use.  There's no natural law that implies 100 as a
universal divisor, it's just something people started doing, because it
makes calculations easy given the Indian numeric system that we use
today.  I know of no source in the Torah or TSBP for such a convention,
and I don't believe that one existed in those days, among either Jews or
goyim.

Nor can I think of anywhere where 100 is used to imply completeness.
On the contrary, we have other numbers that are used to mean shleimus,
especially 60.
