An article on the ICUP (International Choice of Urinal Protocol) discusses the maximum number number of urinators that can utilize a public restroom without awkwardness. (ICUP)

The equations for the optimal number of urinals to install in a public restroom and the least efficient number of urinals to install both look good, but is there a problem in the equation that determines how many urinators can utilize a public restroom without awkwardness?

Certainly, but how do you factor in the akwardness caused by the "groaning 'cuz I had to pee so bad guy"?
