Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the equation (S+C)(B+F)/(T-C) as presented in a Fox News segment, which is claimed to relate to physical attributes, specifically in a humorous context regarding body image. Participants explore the validity and implications of this equation, as well as similar equations purportedly related to dating age norms.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants question the legitimacy of the equation, suggesting it is mathematically incorrect and possibly created as a joke by young individuals.
  • Others express skepticism about the media's portrayal of such equations, indicating a concern over the impact of presenting them as serious mathematics.
  • A participant introduces a similar equation, min(A_f) = A_m/2 + 7, claiming it relates to acceptable dating age differences, which prompts further discussion on societal norms.
  • Some participants share humorous interpretations and examples of the dating age equation, while others express discomfort with the implications of such formulas.
  • Concerns are raised about the subjective nature of the variables involved in these equations, questioning their validity as objective measurements.
  • There is a suggestion that a ceiling function could be applied to the dating age equation to provide clearer guidelines.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity and seriousness of the equations discussed. While some view them as humorous or nonsensical, others express concern over their presentation in media as legitimate mathematics.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the subjective nature of the variables used in the equations, as well as the lack of clarity on the definitions and contexts in which these equations are applied.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in the intersection of mathematics, media representation, and societal norms may find this discussion relevant.

What does this equation get me (S+C)(B+F)/(T-C)=?

I was watching Fox and Friends (1 minute ago) and they present this equation. On the front cover of the New York Post, it yields how voluptuous your arse is. :smile:

It is a quest to find the perfect butt, via mathamatics. Personally, I do not pay any attention to that part of the anatomy.

Fox News is my homepage, I only saw the title of the article and was wondering what it was about, I went back and read it after seeing his thread.

It's the kind of math on fox.It's a terrible mathmatically incorrect equation devloped by some 13 year old kids as(a terrible wrong and imutre) joke to make it seem like they were working math.

It's terrible that fox is showing.Why doesn't FCC stop them...
 
Damn! There goes my mathematics these topic :cry:

Well, somebody hasn't had a holly jolly Christmas. :-p And actually Fox was just reporting the breakthrough in mathematics that was invented by The New York Post.
 
There's another one like this :

[tex]min(A_f) = \frac{A_m}{2} + 7[/tex]

Anyone care to guess what that one is supposed to mean ?
 
No guesses ? Well, that is supposed to be an equation giving the minimum age of a female that a male can date without his friends making fun of him. :lol:

e.g.

Male Female
12 13 (it's perceived as cool for young guys to date slightly older
women)

14 14

24 19

etc.
 
male female
0 7

?

I do believe that if I dated a 16 year old I would get a lot of crap. And possibly a prison sentence.

18 year old male with a 16 year female is a *bit* of a gray area - at least socially speaking. Of course, the parents could get pissed at you and get you charged with stat rape. :eek:

19 year old.

I think I'll keep trusting my sound judgement and intuition rather than these ridiculous mathematical theories. :rolleyes:

While it may look complicated (...)

:smile:

That is not a complicated equation!

The variables aren't even objective measurements (except for v), they're things like "bounciness" and "firmness." It doesn't help that V could equal T and they're dividing by T - V

There should maybe be a ceiling function around the female age term. So you'll know you have to go out with a 17 year old at least.

Hey, I didn't come up with the formula ! :biggrin:

wow, I think I've lost a couple IQ points just learning about these amazing breakthroughs
