The Hunger Law (student edition)


The law of hunger states that "Male hostel students are always in a constant state of hunger due to lack of both home cooked food and good places to eat"
This is also known as Colonel's law, i.e. Colonel Sanders of Kentucky.
It can be mathematically expressed as :
H = n*T/w + m(g/n)
where
H = hunger in terms of McChicken burgers in SI units, or Zingers in Mks units.
n - number of people in the sample population
T(t) - A function of the time , which is ideally a constant, as we are generally hungry
w - weight of food available, we can see H is inversely proportional to it
m - it is a special factor, also known as the munchies factor, which depends on the coefficients g ( amount of green stuff) and n

CTBM is always gone because its quantity (w) is always lower than that which can satisfy the population n, which probabalistically tends to be larger than n', which is the optimum population.
It also depends on the "early bird gets the worm" hypothesis.

This was an answer to Sharad's status message :
"Q 3. State the law of Hunger and explain why the Chicken Tikka Butter Masala always gone. Justify your answer. [12]"

I should be studying.

Now Listening - Sigur Ros overdose. Faye was right, it is like whale song, very very soothing.
Now Reading - You dont want to know.
Now Feeling - Petulant.
