First I would like to thank you for not treating me like I'm special, and helping. So if it went from 1 to 12 that's 1200% increases, then a 100% drop would mean we went back to one, not 0? Because the increase was 11, and 100% decrease would be that 11 more from last month?

Actually a 100% drop of anything will always take it to zero. The 100% doesn't depend on the prior percent - that's what makes it so confusing.

If you think about money it works out more intuitively. If you lost 100% of your money I'm sure wouldn't think you still had a dollar, right?

Yea, that's what I'm thinking, but when they say "100% drop" that's referring to "before", I guess I meant "a 100% drop this month".
