Weird Wide Web - Pivot | News Article

Remember that one Friends episode where Ross struggled to move his couch into his apartment? Well, a group of mathematicians have figured out how he could've actually done it.

There is a theory that explains how they could've gotten the couch upstairs. The apparent formula that would've worked is, "Angle of vertical tilt (T) = 44.15064 -11.94274 x WS (Width of the Stairwell) + 8.69119 x WC (Width of the Couch) + 3.65961 x LC (Length of the Couch)." You can find the explanation by clicking here and maybe even try it out yourself. Who knows, maybe your pivot might just work!
