thewhovianpotterhead: A formula for teen relationships.  A really nice explanation of Colin’s Theorem from my novel An Abundance of Katherines. The theorem really works (not because of anything I did but because it was created by noted mathematician and state representative Daniel Biss), and it’s surprisingly accurate, although of course imperfect. One side note: The formula completely fails if you make the Dumper/Dumpee differential zero, which was a joke that Daniel and I put into the formula, our thought being that if you think hard enough, the dumper/dumpee differential is NEVER zero.
