UPD T-shirts work perfectly

I dunno, don't you have to actually get on that thing first?

Hmmm. I notice that with the t-shirt the right way round you UPDed
forwards, but even on reversing the t-shirt you still UPDed forwards.
Either this is all part of some fiendishly cunning and elaborate hoax,
or your t-shirt may be faulty.

I can't address the design parameters, Phil, because I wasn't part of
the research team. I, like you, expected reverse UPD's when wearing the
shirt backwards. There must be an absolute value function at work in
the control mechanism. I'm sure Catboy is apprehensive about revealing
his design secrets but hopefully he will speak to this issue before we
become more confused (were that possible.)

I think the real question is, what's a pdn?

IMNSHO, to get the most out of the "unplanned" part of the dismount, the
direction of fall is completely random and does not depend on the way
the shirt is worn.

Silly, you're overlooking the obvious! You're in the northern
hemisphere!

A pdn is clearly a upd down under.

So what happens if you wear the shirt upside down then?

I'm glad the shirt is working out fine. The equation I used for the
design of the shirt is thus:

l(s^2/(d-5))((12)sqrt(n))l

Where 's' is the value of the size as a variable of the 32nd Mersenne
prime. 'd' is the cosine of the quadratic function of the design and
'n' is the degree around your body in which you wore it.

So far, a medium shirt, in design number 4 worn at -74 precisely will
yield the greatest UPD outcome. And a small shirt design 2 worn at +19°
will yield the smallest UPD.

I've created a chart to show the relation of all possible outcomes.
Blue-Orange is a 'Safe-Zone' but the red area could cause you to eat
some dirt fo sho. as you can see, since Greg was wearing his shirts at
180 and -180 degrees within a few degrees, a large and design number 4
his UPD was in the Blue-Turquoise area at most.

NOTE: Do Not Attempt Yellow-Red Zones On Stairs Cliffs Or Other
Potentially Fatal Areas!!!

This clarifies everything. Since 180 and -180 are the same angle, one
would expect the same UPD outcome. Has your mom been doing your
homework again? Cool shirts...clever design.

Ironically, my mother is a teacher... however, she teaches 3 year olds.
They learn thier ABC's, but not any super mathofrologicalistic
eqayshuns like I do... I think they learn those in Kindergarten.

I'm going to go with... conspiracy theory. It looks like a camera
trick. Staged. Look at the angle of the shadows and the direction of
the fall. Clearly, this is a hoax. And I bet you believe we've been
to the moon, too!

(Besides, wearing a UPD shirt BACKWARDS should PREVENT UPDs, right?
duh! And did anyone think to try the other two orientations???)

Dude, that was a lot of work for something that was already funny.

You checked his math???? Now THAT's a lot of work (Catboy was just
posting some of his design documents that he -already had available-).

Clearly a pdn would be an unplanned dismount during an inverted
manuever. My unicycle crew and I are currently working on such a feat.
