 Phew! What a relief!  Well that's good to hear, 'cause I'm neither male NOR teenager. (Nudge, nudge, noodgie... careful you don't wake up savouring a collection of tasty feet. :-)
 
 Try this.  Here's another calculated postulate that has been previously reviewed by the fevered wits of Rinky-dinkdom:

 Well, perhaps there is a more immediate application of Time and Effort with regard to Work and infinite potential.  Consider the following:
 
 Postulate:
 
 /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  / Effort × Time = Constant.
 
 Corollary:
 /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  / As Time goes to zero, Effort goes to infinity.
 
 Proof:
 /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  / Self-evident to students, or to anyone pulling yet another all-nighter at the office (heh).
