ohiofarmer 3,157 #1 Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Now, my friends, i have heard that you can determine accurately the ideal number of Horses you should own for your stable. X = [N+1] X is the correct number of horses that is the ideal N is the number of bikes Tractors you currently own. Caught the mistake---Also applies to motorcycles Edited April 20, 2018 by ohiofarmer 2 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,051 #2 Posted April 19, 2018 The formula for my situation is a little different X=(Bxc) depending on d d= drunk neighbor B = 55 gal barrels ( parties by drunk increases the number of barrels) c= number of empty beer cans drunk throws in barrels Amount of money collected is market price of used aluminum cans and number of trips to recycling center each year. The above calculations and variables determine the number of horses that I can add to herd within any given time period. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,148 #3 Posted April 19, 2018 Mine is way more simple: X=1 It does it all... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,148 #4 Posted April 19, 2018 I'd like to add that N can and should and shall be : Anything that can be used as leverage to increase herd size. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This formula is flawed as it only reflects the currant situation and fails to make allowance for changing trends, desires and miraculous finds! Mathematical Variables need to be considered because the "X" factor can swing radically at any moment and without warning. Ask @Aldon, @WHX16, @AMC RULES and @Mike'sHorseBarn if their "N" has remained constant! A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. Typically, we use a single letter to represent a variable. The letters , , and are common generic symbols used for variables. 5 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #6 Posted April 19, 2018 I got the triple X factor going on over here. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,898 #7 Posted April 19, 2018 Let's not forget the W in the formulas, (where W=wife). 1 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,793 #8 Posted April 19, 2018 Let's not forget the L variable. Directly related to W. Where L = the number of lumps on your noggin! 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,786 #9 Posted April 19, 2018 Don't forget to factor in the SSA (storage space available). This can include barns, magic sheds, carports, tents, basements, rec rooms, living rooms and kitchen tables (work bench). 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,565 #10 Posted April 19, 2018 After calculating all of the variables that every one has come up with, here is a formula that I have. Take your current square footage needs, multiply that by 3. Build your storage building to that figure. After 5yrs you should find that your building will be 1/2 the size that you really needed. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Provided that my math is not escaping me that leaves me with four tents to use. Two of those tents are quite large and if carefully parked would hold 4 wheel horses each. The other two are unfortunately quite small and would only hold one wheel horse each. So if I'm adding all that up correctly I have space for 10 additional wheel horses Beyond and over and above what I currently possess which is merely two. My honey and I are going to have to have a talk...... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,051 #16 Posted April 19, 2018 Auto correct only works if you misspell the word. I keep blaming the keyboard but "she who must be obeyed" states that keyboard works correctly so it must be me. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
