Facemask after a Breakup
Editing Public Pain: A Formula for Determining the Number of Photographs allowed for Public Display by a Facemasker after a Breakup
Start with longest amount of time Facemasker has ever been in a relationship
EX: 730 days, 104 weeks, 24 months, 2 yrs.
Next determine most pragmatic unit for measuring a Heterosexual-love relationship - The week! (Remember to insert explanation of why a week is the most pragmatic unit for measuring a heterosexual-love relationship, as apposed to a day, month or year)
Establish first numbered unit using most pragmatic unit (wk) for measuring a heterosexual-love relationship and subtract from total number of days in 2 year period to get the new total of days in a two-year period
Ex: 1. 7 days/1 wk = 730 days - 7 days/1week = 723 days
Increase previous numbered unit (Ex: 1. 7 days/1wk) to create next numbered unit by 7 days/ 1 week
Ex: 2. 14 days/2 weeks
Subtract another 7 days/ 1 week from the new total of days in a two-year period
Ex: 2. 14 days/2 weeks = 723 days -7 days = 709 days
Repeat until total number of units in two-year period is 0
Reaching 0: Establishing Tiers
When increasing previous numbered unit by 7 day/ 1 week becomes greater than the new total of days in a two-year period
Ex: 13. 91 days/13 wks/ 3 months & 1wk) = 93 days.
The next numbered unit cannot be increases by 7 days/ 1 week because the new total of days will equal 98 days, which is greater than the last new total of days, 93.
When this occurs, begin with 1 week and add 1 day. Increase week by 1 day and subtract from the new total of days in a two-year period. Repeat.
All numbered units falling above the point when increasing previous numbered unit by 7 days/ 1 week becomes greater than the new total of days in a two-year period constitute Tier 1.
All numbered units falling bellow this point constitute Tier 2.
When increasing previous numbered unit by 1 day is greater then 2 weeks
EX: 20. 15 days (2wk & 1day) = 15
Since the most pragmatic unit for measuring a Heterosexual-love relationship is 7 days / 1 week, begin with 6 days and subtract from the new total number of days.
Repeat, decreasing the previous numbed unit by 1 and subtract from the new total of days in a two-year period.
All numbered units falling bellow the point when increasing previous numbered units by 1 day is greater then 2 weeks constitute Tier 3.
Applying the Formula:
Application A. (Note: Color coding applies to Application B.)
730 days/ 104 weeks/ 24 months/ 2 yrs.
Numbered Units New Total Number of Days
1. 7 days (1 wk) = 723 days
2. 14 days (2 wk) = 709
3. 21 days (3wks) = 688
4. 28 days (4wk – 1 month) = 660
5. 35 days (5 wk – 1 month & 1wk) = 625
6. 42 days (6wk – 1 month & 2wk) = 583
7. 49 days (7wk – 1 month & 3wk) = 534
8. 56 days (8wk – 2 month) = 478
9. 63 days (9wk – 2 month & 1 wk) = 415
10. 70 days (10 wk – 2 month & 2 wk) = 345
11. 77 days (11wk – 2 month & 3wk) = 268
12. 84 days (12wk – 3 month) = 184
13. 91 days (13wk – 3 month & 1wk) = 93
________________________________________Tier 1______
14. 8 days (1wk & 1day) = 85

17. 11days (1wk & 4days) = 55
18. 12 days (1wk & 5days) = 43
19. 13 days (1wk & 6 days) = 30
20. 15 days (2wk & 1day) = 15

Combining Numbered Units in Two Year Period to find the Number of Units that will equate the number of photographs for Facemask After a Breakup:
Finding combination of numbered units, physically faithful and combination of numbered units, psychologically faithful, will leave the Non-Combinable numbered units.
The Non- combinable numbered units are equal to the Actual Total Number of Days heterosexual-love relationship should have occurred and Jersey Number of Facemasker's ex.
The total of Numbered Units from each Combination of Numbered Units and Non-Combinable Numbered Units is the number of photographs for Facemask After a Breakup.
Directions:
1) Define and use the Total number of days Facemasker was physically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship. (Insert definition of faithful)
(Ex: Facemasker reports being physically faithful for 1 year = 365 days/ 52 wks/ 12 months).
Next, starting with bottom numbered unit of Tier 1 and moving upward, add numbered units to equate total number of days, weeks, months, years Facemasker was physically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship
(Ex: 1) Combine 13, 12, 11, 10, 5 & 14= 365 days/ 52 wks/ 12 months/ 1 year
When numbered units from Tier 1 can no longer be plugged in to equate total number of days Facemasker was physically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship, start with bottom numbered unit of Tier 2, moving upward. When numbered units from Tier 2 can no longer be plugged in to equate total number of days Facemasker was physically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship, start with bottom numbered unit of Tier 3, moving upward.
2) Find total days facemasker was psychologically faithful in Hetero-love relationship by applying the same formula as above, however, dividing the total number of weeks facemasker was physically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship in half.
(Ex: 1) Combine 13, 12, 11, 10, 5 & 14= 365 days/ 52 wks/ 12 months/ 1 year
To find next numbered unit, take 365 days divided by 2 = 182 days/ 26wks/ 6 months/ .5 year
(EX: 2) Combine 9, 8, 7 & 2 = 182 days/ 26 wks/ 6 months/ .5 year
Do this until the number of days Facemasker was psychologically faithful in heterosexual-love relationship no longer equals a whole day.
(EX: 5) Combine 20, 19 & 2 = 23 days/ .3.25 wks/ .75 months/ .0625 year
23 days divided by 2 = 11.5……STOP
The remaining days from numbered units in two-year period will equate the actual total number of days heterosexual-love relationship should have occurred, as well as the jersey number of facemasker's ex.
Applying the Formula:
Application B (Refer to Application A color-coding via Application B)
Actual number of units Facemasker was faithful in Hetero-love relationship = 52wks; 365 days:
Numbered Units
1) Combine 13, 12, 11, 10, 5 & 14= 365 days/ 52 wks/ 12 months/ 1 year
____________365 days/ 52 wks/ 12 months/ 1 year physically faithful.
2) Combine 9, 8, 7 & 2 = 182 days/ 26 wks/ 6 months/ .5 year
3) Combine 6, 4 & 3 = 91 days/ 13 wks/ 3 months/ .25 year
4) Combine 1, 20, 19, & 17= 46 days/ 6.5 wks/ 1.5 months/ .125 year
5) Combine 20, 19 & 2 = 23 days/ .3.25 wks/ .75 months/ .0625 year
____________346 days/ 49 wks/ 11 months/ 0.947316606 year psychologically faithful
Remaining days from numbered units in two-year period:
6) 10 days
7) 9 days
8) 6 days
9) 5 days
10) 4 days
___________34 days/ 4.85714286 wks/ 1.11706698 months/ 0.093088915 year
Actual Total Number of Days Heterosexual-Love Relationship should have Occurred and Jersey Number of Facemasker's Ex:
34 = 34 days/ 4.85714286 wks/ 1.11706698 months/ 0.093088915 year
