"If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut."

A = Y + B , B being lots of Beer

| So for large values of B, the approximation is that A = B ? |

A + B/C - (4A + B) = ZZZzzzzzZzzzZZZzz

Ah, but the flaw is that (B + Z) = a large mess on the floor, over your clothes etc. |

No, only if Z preceeds B. As in: (Z + B) = X

| I would say that A ~ -dB/dX :). |

Now you try and ignore the commutativity of addition...(B + Z) = (Z + B)
It might also be interesting to compare with Edison's view that Success = (10% Inspiration) + (90% Perspiration)

Why no Y? We need more Ys! I am inspired to perspire, if we can just have more Ys. Y = Play. |

It isn't always commutable anyway, even in proper maths. And as I'd want at least a 6 pack of beer, I think that makes it an matrix, so all commutative bets are off. |

| Hmm...yes, perhaps a center-weighted matrix would hit the spot (trying to somehow relate this to photography) |
