The Faff Factor - a ratio of how much more effort is needed on a seemingly simple task after you start it. Proportional to 1/time available * urgency of task.

Often cited in maker/technical fields but also applies to DIY tasks and getting children ready for ANYTHING

E=mc² was discovered in Ilkley Moor after a Yorkshire pudding fight

E = how much it hurt (ee bah gum)
m = how Mardy the recipient became
c = how quickly they could see it, also sometimes referred to as the Chuffin 'Eck constant

Experimenting with whippets was less successful
