Mathematicians needed...

There's a direct correlation between how many posts I've made today, and the amount of decorating there is to be getting on with. 

Struggling to express it it as a formula. 

Extra points for for the inclusion of the amount of mastic and Polyfilla I've now got on my iPad cover.

Not exactly a formula, but the amount of time spent on The FretBoard is directly proportional to the amount of work that you really ought to be getting on with. What that work is doesn't matter - it just needs to be something that you'll try to find any excuse for not doing it.

I was thinking I'm kinda cool because I've got fake fingertips just like Tony Iommi.

Only mine are made from Gripfill and smell a bit solventy. 

On second thoughts, I don't think this one's going to fly.

If only I could award more than one wisdom.

The cosmic formula for procrastination eh.

It's directly proportional to the speed at which you'll need to do the work at in order to avoid getting screamed at by the wife when she gets home.

There's also a step-change in there because it's a rugby day.

Frankly, to consider the possibility of getting any decorating done is foolish.

fT = Fretboard Time

dT = Decorating Time

W% = percentage of enthusiasm expressed in Watts

jT = Overall job time

so  ; ,  you find that:


    dT x W%
    ---------      =  jT
        fT

@57Deluxe  nailed it. I particularly like that enthusiasm would be expressed in watts

notanon

fT = Fretboard Time

dT = Decorating Time

W% = percentage of enthusiasm expressed in Watts

jT = Overall job time

so  ; ,  you find that: 


    dT x W%
    ---------      =  jT
        fT

Missing the special factor dN = number of years married x PF Partner Factor:

 (dN x PF) + dT x W%
     --------------------             =  jT
              fT

PF depends on spouse/partner. My partner factor is very low as my wife is fine but I've seen some very high factors in both Male and Females.

X= 2x /fuckall
X= decorating time, the rest you can workout yourself.......
