<p>Peter Backus, a maths tutor at the University of Warwick, has discovered the science behind singledom by using a famous maths formula, which was first used to estimate the existence of extra-terrestrial life.<br /><br />The baffling equation (N = R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L) helped scientist Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilisations in the galaxy.<br /><br />Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria of a dream date, which included the percentage of women likely to find him attractive, and the number of unmarried girls aged 24-34 in London. Applying his formula, the 30-year-old found that out of the 30 million women, only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him.</p>
