HOW TO CRAP LIKE AN ENGINEER
Since my dad taught me how to wipe waaaay back in the early Reagan Administration, my formula for layers of toilet paper as a function of number of folds has been
L(n) = n + 1
where n is nonnegative.
Since I started working at Underground, I adopted a new formula. I'm not sure why a new formula was adopted in our job trailer, but it was, and here's the formula:
L(n) = 4n - 4
where n is greater than or equal to 2.
You do the math. It's pretty cool once you figure out how (e-mail me for the solution). But don't take my word for it, check it out and see for yourself.
