FWA 06 - who would have thought? When you mix a handful of Christian nerds, a life giving message and a lot of pegs, you'd expect something remarkable... but I never, despite my eager excitement, could have imagined just how much life would be given.
Now, I feel the need for a formula:
Sleep Requirement: S(T) = N(w) + ALσ(n) exp(F(t)Φ(t)) / s(t+T)
where F(t) = food consumption over time
Φ(t) = fun acquisition over time
s(t) = sleep acquisition over time
σ(n) = general spading activity per camp attendee
L = teaching quality factor
A = arbitrary personality constant
t = time since start of camp
T = time since end of camp
N(w) = formula writer's nerd factor: function of formulas written
Watch this space, I'll write soon.
You're such a dag,
ReplyDeleteIf fac-leading had nothing to do with godliness and being a Christian leader, you'd deserve to be science fac leader, purely due to your nerdiness factor!
I've only learnt it from the best bunch of nerds anyone could ever hope to know ;o)
ReplyDeletehehe oooooh dear =P
ReplyDeletenice blog though by the way =)
Iain, Spading per camper is an almost zero number, it could probably be insignifcant- therefore you're multiplying teaching quality by such a small number. I disagree with your formula, or at least my understanding of it... I wonder if there was pasta for dinner...
ReplyDeleteyeah that's how it's supposed to work, because it's a sleep requirement function, so the smaller the answer the less sleep you need. And the teaching factor was very high. If you're worried, you can insert (1+σ(n)) in the place of σ(n) so that it can't bottom out.
