From the VAULT back in college w/ roommates

While living iwth I think 3 other guys, there were always complaints as to who needed to clean the bathroom.  These debates lead to this inspiration:

The Bathroom Effort Factor - v 1.0
While taking a shower I began pondering ways to measure the amount of effor one must exert to keep the bathroom clean.  I realized that 2 key factors fall into keeping a bathroom clean:
1) The amount of work put in to cleaning the bathroom.
2) The amount of hair and dirt left behind after using the bathroom.

Upon further ponderance, I have devised a way to calculate one's BEF, or Bathroom Effort Factor.  Keep in mind that htis is only an estimate.

The first number is the quantity of hours spent each month cleaning the bathroom.  For bachelors this number is usually between 1 and 5 (very opimistic).

The second number can be estimated by the person's 'Hair Factor'.  This also is a scale of 1 -5.
1-2 -> bald, very little body hair
3 - 4 -> Average Body hair
5 -> Very hairy, usually of European Decent

With these numbers, one can calulate their BEF.  To calculate you BEF, simple divide the number of hours spent cleaning your bathrom by your Hair Factor. A BEF lower than 1 is usually unacceptabl.  A BEF of 1 is expected.  Anything over 1 is amazing!

Good times!  Darin and Matthew Laity helped me create this. We had quite fun ribbing our other roommates who had a poor BEF.
