Ferret guru's Sorry about the mistakes! Here is the revised formula. I was in a rush and didn't get time to proof read it before I sent it out. I also found them after I got home and read the printed copy. Oh well I'm only a man. I tried to run it through a couple possible scenarios before it was released. Many of you have emailed your approval and suggestions (which have been great) to me. I will try to incorporate them and publish a new and improved version the formula at a later date. For those couple of people who took this thing a little more seriously then they should (A dry sence of humor is hard to tell over the computer!), you need to "Breath in!" and then "Breath out!". But I'm glad everybody (For the most part.) has enjoyed it. God Bless Jerry Jackowski C = Cost factor (1=low, 2=mid, 3=high) F = Financial factor (1=bad, 2=ok, 3=great) v = available ferrets in the area (0=no, 1= yes) a = Number of family members who approve (not including yourself) d = Number of family members who disapprove p = Persuasion factor (How easy you can persuade someone) (1=high, 2=low) q = Odd number quotient (Do the number of f you own 1=even, 2=odd) y = Number ferrets you own l = How many ferrets will fit in the current living quarters? n =v(F/C)(a-(d/p))(q+(l-y)) Ferret new ownership percentage (n*10) [Posted in FML issue 2283]
