The dull equation takes into account the number of women aged 24 to 34,living in his home city of London,and who are single,meaning his chances of meeting his dream woman on a night out are slim.
The economics expert said:“There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful relationship.So,on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting one of these special people.That’s a 1 in 285,000 chance,so it’s not great.”
The puzzling Drake equation reads: N=R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L,and helped pioneering scientist Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy.
Mr Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria for a dream date,which included the percentage of women likely to find him attractive,and the number of girls aged 24~34 in London.He said:“The research may sound depressing to people looking for love,but the_good_news_for_singles is,it’s probably not your fault!”
