#563: Fermirotica explain

[A formula is shown with the variables explained above:]
Pd Regional population density (e.g. 18,600/mi²)
Xf Average person’s frequency of sex (e.g. 80/year)
Xd Average duration of sex (e.g. 30 minutes)
r=sqrt(2/(π*Pd*Xf*Xd))
On average, someone within distance r of you is having sex.

Cueball: Mmm, That probable couple 150 meters away is so hot. Oh yeah, theoretically work it, baby.
From out of frame: Hey! No statistical voyeurism!
