Two laws of interestingness1. The interestingness of an item is inversely proportional to the number of people in the item. [I = C * 1/n * T] Where C is the subject matter, n is the number of people involved, and t is the length of time the story is active *.For example, one miner trapped in a cave-in is more interesting than 10 miners in a similar situation. If it's just one, you know his name, his family details, etc. (Note: This rule can be broken when the number of people exceeds a certain number.)2. The interestingness of an item is inversely proportional to the “person” that is used. [I = C * 1/n] This explains why stories, blogs, etc. told in the first person are more interesting.* For white, blonde girls who are kidnapped add 5.
