Here for the geek in all of us are fifty foolproof equations that take the guesswork out of life -- and the funniest twist on an idea since Richard Smith's 'The Dieter's Guide to Weight Loss During Sex'. Call it the algebra oracle: by plugging in the right variables, 'Geek Logic' answers life's most persistent questions. It covers Dating and Romance, Career and Finance, and everyday decisions like Should I get a tattoo? Can I still wear tight jeans? Is it time to see a therapist? How many beers should I have at the company picnic?
How does it work? Take a simple issue that comes up once or twice a week: Should I call in sick? Fill in the variables honestly, such as D for doctor's note (enter 1 for no, 10 for yes, 5 for yes, but it's a forgery), R for importance of job (1-10 with 10 being personally responsible for Earth's orbit around Sun), F for how much fun you have at work (1-10 with 10 being personal trainer to underwear models), N for how much you need the money (1-10 with 10 being I owe the mob), then do the math and voila -- if the product, Hooky, is greater than 1, enjoy your very own Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Includes a pocket calculator so that perspective geeks can immediately solve the equation on the back cover: Should I buy this book?
