How would that actually work when there are 1.01 inhabited planets?

Enroute?

Maybe an astronaut had to rub one out in space, and the (lack of) gravity took over, with random chance that a planet got a sample of humanity.

But your guess is as good as mine.

Increase the number of human-inhabilted planets by 1%

Within three months that's 2 planets, and past 35 planets in a year.
Now would that mean humans are spontaneously appearing on inhabitable planets, we vastly speed up colonizing planets, or planets with humans are spontaneously appearing?
I'm not the mysterious power that's granting these, so I don't make the rules.
Same as how you can change things that should be impossible to change by definition (like pi).

A better idea is to increase the amount of inhabitable planets within 30 lightyears by 1%.

Although it would be interesting to see the long term results of the human thing.

Would be interesting.

I don't think values of zero and infinite can be affected by percentage changes

Exactly, how can you decrease infinity? ITS INFINITE you can't reduce infinity because 100% of infinity is the same as 1% of infinity, I don't think infinity can even have a percentage. D:

1%=0,01
infinity*0,01=infinity

Its utterly redundant.

That actually sounds quite terrifying, especially since there's an enormous amount of domestic chickens in existence.

increase the rate at which mars spins by 1%. why? I think it would be amusing.

Wouldn't this eventually result in the early expansion of the sun due to the net influx of mass?  There's more hydrogen than helium in the Sun, so the mass added by the increase of hydrogen by 1% would be greater than the mass removed by the decrease of helium by 1%.
