The haps: T-Rex's Green Lantern Ring Potential Equation, Featuring Drake:
N = R* · fp · ne · fl · fi · fg · L · Cp
where:
N = the expected number of Green Lantern Power Rings on your fingers
and
R* = | the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy |
fp = | the fraction of those stars that have planets |
ne = | the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets |
fl = | the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point |
fi = | the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life |
fg = | the fraction of civilizations that develop Green Lantern technology and that release detectable Green Lantern Corps into space |
L = | the length of time for which such Green Lantern Corps survive |
Cp = | your personal charisma, ranging from 0 (least charismatic person) to 1 (perfectly charismatic) |
