What? Are we turning this space into a Math class? Naahhh… I know it sounds like it, but bare with me for the next couple of lines to find out something truly amazing it may help you BIG TIME! Everything started like a couple of weeks ago having a chat with a friend of mine (@Padaguan) when he talked to me about a guy in the UK named Peter Backus from the University of Warwick who did something it may not get a Nobel prize for, but I'm sure many people are gonna love him for it (and in my opinion that's wicked!). All begins with the title of this post… obviously we're not going to mess with the numbers, all we need to know is that the untweaked equation was once written back in '62 by… (guess who?) Dr. Drake, and it helps to measure the possibility of finding life in other planets… plain and simple.
Ok… fair enough… so what? How this bunch of numbers are gonna help us in any way? Alright… here it goes, while scientists are using this equation to estimate the existence of intelligent life outside our world… this english fella tweaked it in order to… (drum role!) measure the number of compatible ladies and potential girlfriends for him. And it gets better, it doesn't limit to "find" them around the world… but in his own town instead!
How is this possible? Well, now we're stepping in the line between abstraction and practicality. Here's how it works, while the original formula takes into consideration other aspects, the ones we're going to see are some sort of adaptations of your own likings (i.e. if you want your girlfriend to have a major or being over certain age). So, we have to make up our minds and choose how we want out mate to be. After we have that sorted out we need to know certain things regarding our town's population (like percentage of genders and such).
Alright… good so far? I saw the formula and in total it takes 8 different aspects, which (easy enough) all we have to do is to multiply them with our trusty calculator and violá!!! To cheer you up, our new best friend from UK got a pretty solid answer… 26… YESSSS!!! 26 is the number of girls from London he may have a wonderful relationship with (in his own words). You hated numbers? Not now! I have to say that's a pretty nice adaptation we can all use. My friend @Padaguan did the math for his case and his new lucky number is 14. That's the number of compatible girls walking the hallways and hanging out in his university waiting to be found! (That's right! He narrowed it that down!)
What are you waiting for? Grab a calculator and hit those buttons! Your perfect match can be just around the corner just waiting for you (or for any other compatible one). I hand you the link listing the aspects you need to work its magic and also I leave a small vid so you can meet the author of the original equation himself: Dr. Frank Drake (you gotta bow to him!) I'm about to hit the calculator myself, I'll let you know my numbers in the next post.
