Did you ever wonder what the formula for measuring the efficiency of urinals?
XKCD has a detailed analysis of the efficiency of usage based on the number of urinals. Hidden assumption is that no two men stand next to each other without some personal distance space. Geeky fun…

5 Urinals are being used rather efficiently (if men behave according to protocol)
