Ground breaking research into the visual acuity experienced by subjects while using beer goggles

Critical Ugliness, U*

U*=CB x (NPULL/UMING)

Where:

NPULL=No. of pulls in last 12 months

CB= Bath Bird Constant (aka BBC)CB= 1.0 for Town Pulls (BBC1)CB= 2.0 for Campus Pulls (BBC2)CB= 5.0 for Bondi Beach Pulls (BONZA)

Example 1.13 pulls in freshers’ week (for the year)Out in Town.

U* = 1.0 x (3/4)= 0.75 (V.Low score)

UMING=Avg Actual Prettiness of Pulls

Case Study: Subject ‘J’

Please Note: None of the subjects used in the making of this case study were permanently damaged by what they

had experienced.

(They were already like that)

View of Subject J with the ‘catch of the day’(as seen through beer goggles).

[Furrows Chart - Perceived prettiness = 9, Alcohol = 9 ]

View of Subject ‘J’ with the ‘catch of the day’(without beer goggles).

[See Furrows Law chart - Alcohol = 0 ]

The following variables have so far been identified for the algorithm:

Maxfactor - Makeup quality and cost

PMT-up -Auxiliary makeup supplies

Nbag - No. of cosmetic items in hand bag.

Æ - aspect ratio (mirror)

ε - linear strain (straps)

τ - Sheer stress

- kinematic viscosity (relative excitement)

Q - flow rate (related to )

T - Torq - also know as the ‘Moment of Force’

VAG - Volume and Gap (gift of the)

μ - friction coefficient (inter-group)

Month - Lunar phase

- Morgan-Oasis constant

- Same clothes factor

- Inter-group Phase difference

ƒflirt - Flirt Frequency (= 1/horny period )

FME - Meat-market factor

Nprevious - Past lovers (make past lovers jealous)

NFuture - Future lovers (To be impressed)

Rand - Random ‘-Male’ Factor

- Inter-group Phase difference

ƒflirt - Flirt Frequency (= 1/horny period )

FME - Meat-market factor

Nprevious - Past lovers (make past lovers jealous)

NFuture - Future lovers (To be impressed)

1.6μm - static mating surfaces) (pg30)

MBEND - Bending moment (pg47)

CB - Bush thickness

σLIM - Fatigue limit (pg58)

FOS - Factor of Safety - eg Heavy duty shafting, 10-12 (pg 59)

Dflange - Flange type -(Raised face, O-ring, Recessed face, Tongue and Groove) (pg87)

ELIM - Elastic limit (pg166)

PINNIT - Initiation point (pg167)

The following other variables have been taken from the
