While wandering through /., I stumbled upon this comment, which contained the equation E=1/2CV^2.
Not having a background in electical components (the context of this equation), my brain immediately translated ‘CV’ as ‘Curriculum Vitae’.
Logically, it followed that ‘E’ was something related to employment…’Employability’ works.
The end result was that I ended up reading the equation as “Employability = 1/2(Curriculum Vitae)^2” — or, in layman’s terms, any given job will only require half of what you know, but will require proportionately more experience than you have.
Sounds about right to me. I’ll call it “Hanscom’s Law”.

I have to say, that’s a rather brilliant law. Seem to make sense to me, from what I’ve seen.
ha ha nice, if anyone is wondering, it is actually the law for the enery in Joules stored by a Capacitor, it is 1/2 * the “capacitance” of the device * the Voltage it was being charged at squared, but I prefer your version, (I’m taking A-Level Physics tomorrow, I hope i don’t get the definitions mixed up !)
