The nipples are hard with mental stimulus over McDermott's new game theory

Game theory, a subset of economics, sociology, and vector calculus, is the name commonly given to the study of hooking up in frat basements. It was discovered by Thomas R. McDermott in 1995 and first proposed in his PhD. dissertation at Dartmouth College a year later. A very similar theory, called stochastically excited chaos theory, was put forth by Steven J. Weber in the same year. Some go so far as to say that the two developed the theory independently. However, McDermott was the first to successfully use the theory to hook up, so the conventions of his theory are those that are usually followed. Anyhow, it has been proven utterly by boundless scientific evidence that witches are great at game theory. No, I will not provide a citation.


[edit] McDermott Cross Elasticity of Demand in the Presence of Roofies

Roofies
Roofies

The presence of roofies in the game adds another term onto the McDermott equation: math This term is usually referred to as the transient solution to the McDermott equation, while the rest of the equation is called the steady state solution. The added term is a negative exponential, so it quickly dies off as T approaches infinity. This is because while a male's chances of hooking up sans roofie usually do not change given that he makes rational decisions, a roofie only lasts for a short period of time before it eventually wears off. What one should interpret from this equation is that while time is usually, not a great factor at reasonably small values of T, if a roofie is being employed one should act quickly and then get the hell out.
