DS report 2: A new discovery

Here is another downright silly report. I have discovered a formula that will help kids with younger siblings. Simply square the time you think it will take to escape your sibling, subtract your sibling's estimated awareness (as a decimal), add your estimated sneakiness (as a decimal), and divide it all by 5. You may need a calculator. Here's an example:

The formula for escaping your little brother/sister

%OE = t squared – A + S
5

Jerry wants to escape from his little brother. If the estimated time it takes to escape from his little brother is 2 minutes, and the percentage of his brother’s awareness is 60%, and the percentage of his sneakiness is 50%, what are his chances of escape in percentage? (Round to the nearest whole number if necessary).

%OE = (t squared – A + S) divided by 5

%OE = (t squared - .60 + .50) divided by 5

%OE = (4 - .60 + .50) divided by 5

%OE = (4 - .10) divided by 5

%OE = 3.9 divided by 5

%OE = .78

Jerry’s chances of escaping are 78%.
