At the risk of breaking the "No One Liners" rule, I submit the following formula, which was related to me by a Marine friend just returned from Iraq:

Probable Enemy Kills = X
Confirmed Kills = A
Livestock Killed = B
Bottles of Beer Consumed = C

X = 3(A) + 2(B) + 5(C)

Therefore: Confirmed Kills ( 3 ) Multiplied by 3 ( 9 ) plus Camels Killed ( 3 ) Multiplied by two ( 6 ) plus Bottles of Beer Consumed ( 5 ) Multiplied by 5 ( 25 ) EQUALS Probable Kills ( 40 ).


In other words I don't trust that number, and neither does my friend.
At the risk of breaking the one liner rule as well, I can say that your formula added absolutley nothing to the thread. Thanks for posting.
