Math and the City

Saturday, September 4

Song of the day: Sex and the City theme song

Angie came to town last night and as we giggled our way thru the Sex and the City tour, we realized that the tour could be broken down into simple mathematical equations and word problems based on our activities and learnings:

Temperature through Angie's visit = (Normal New York weather - 10 degrees) + her freak ability to control nature

7:30 am Saturay morning wake up call ( /=) happy and energetic girls

If you have one friend with legs at length of 36 inches and another friend with legs at 24 inches, at what speed does the first friend need to walk so as not to ditch the other friend, who is walking at 2 mph?

In a line of 40 girls (+3 dudes) who are attending the Sex and The City tour, if:
- All girls don't wear pants,
- 2/3 wear sundresses,
- 1/2 wear gladiator sandals and another 1/4 wear another type of sandal,
- and 90% take great care with their hair and makeup for this special tribute day,
What is the percentage of total SATC tour attendees who will arrive looking like a train wreck in a shiny short, blue bridesmaid dress (with bra showing), 1990s silver block heels and tattered hair?

***Extra credit - what is the total number of the tour attendees who will greatly judge the above percentage?

If Emily the tour guide estimates that she's given approximately 1200 tours over the last 5 years, and each tour contains about 15 clips of the show lasting an estimated 15 seconds per clip; how many hours of Sex and the City has she watched *solely* on the bus?

SATC bus passengers /= 0 for the entirety of the SATC theme and opening

Charlotte' and Tray's catch phrase "Alrighty" = "Okie Dokie" in the German Sex and the City

If the Sex and the City tour last 3.5 hours, with 65% of the time in the bus, and X number of 20 minute stops outside the bus, how many stops does a girl spend outside on this tour?

If rabbit shopping at the Pleasure Chest is to Samantha, ___________ is to Charlotte (answer: "marraige bed" shopping at ABC Carpet)

Cheap cupcakes from Brooklyn <>
Erika = (Miranda - lesbianism) _ Carrie hair
Angie = (Charlotte - neuroticism) + Samantha bling

If O'Neills bar, Aidan and Steve's bar in the show, serve dwatered down 4 0z Cosmos (assume 1/2 oz vodka and 3.5 oz cranberry) for $9 and $11 for our requested 6 oz blueberry lemondrops at 4 times the amount of vodka, what is the recipe for their lemondrop?

1 man + 1 man + 1 man = 3 bored men
1 man that bought the "Pleasure Chest package" for his wife = Brilliant

Samantha + trannies = Meatpacking district explosion

If the table at Buddakan for Carrie and Mr. Big's engagement dinner sat 50 people and was completely full, what percentage of the seats filled actually had lines on SATC throughout the season?

How many blocks does it take to get to the church (29th and 5th) were Samantha hit on the priest if you are standing on the corner of 23rd and I'm in Hell with Miranda?

1 hot club + 10 weeks of success + restaurants opening = top label designers moving to neighborhood

Small boutiques (closed door) (heavy perfume) = Angie fleeing the premise

If the SATC girls had brunch every sunday for 6 years and each brunch consisted of a $16 entree and at least 2 mimosas (assuming the first was free and the 2nd cost $12), how much money would they have collectively spent by the Season Finale?

Jimmy Choo and Manolo shoes /= shoes actually worn walking around New York

2 gals + sassy^10 =
