Day 23 – January 23 :: The Mathematics of Boys

Matthew had two friends from school sleep over as his birthday party.  I have decided that the noise created by a group of boys in an enclosed space is not, as one might think, in fact a linear relationship, but instead requires a complex exponential equation along the lines of

N ≈ (b b) (v s)

Where: N = the noise level, b = number of boys, v = number of video games, s = amount of sugar ingested by said boys.

It has been far too many years since my college engineering classes, so I’m sure the equation as proposed is flawed, but I believe the essence is accurate. Proof of this formula will require extensive additional data collection, case studies, and analysis… for which I will not be volunteering.

LOL Kim! I'll be keeping this in mind. Oh that is too funny!
