Sock Multiplication Theory

According to our research, the number of socks that go missing in the wash is directly proportional to the square of the number of socks you have.

This is known as "The Sock Multiplication Constant" (SMC) and is calculated as follows:

S = 2x(x-1)

where S = number of socks lost, x = number of socks you started with

For example, if you start with 10 socks, you will lose approximately 18 socks.

But wait, it gets even better! Our theory also suggests that the rate of sock disappearance is inversely proportional to the amount of laundry detergent used.

This means that if you use less detergent, you will lose more socks! It's like they're trying to escape!
