Jan Bak provides formulas for value, metro areas, parties, and intergenerational equity in 3 sentences or less. Value formulas state that smart work is more valuable than hard work alone and that fictional debts are petty nonsense. Metro area formulas note that Detroit is like Boston plus San Francisco plus Manhattan, Chicago has 77 neighborhoods across 3 major sides, and Los Angeles has the most dense land population in its metro area. Party formulas suggest that alcohol approximates BBQ therapy, Taylor Swift hits move crowds more than drama which causes pointless headaches. The final formula states that intergenerational equity occurs when former mooching housemates get over feelings of entitlement.
