¿Question #5003?
Randy Cox: Is beauty times brains a constant?

Moerte: No!
Neurocide: If one of those two factors are 0, than yes.
pricero1: Possibly, but the constant is different for males and females.
Geeky_Farmer: Unfortantly... No!
Randy Cox: I'm told it is, but I've found too many outliers.
MisterCranky: I like playing games with women. I like it so much, that this answer will repeat itself a few hundred times.
pakruse: No. I've met plenty of smart, beautiful people and many more dumb, ugly people.
Drakeyx: Yes. No brains, (0) and No Beauty (0) equals zero.
karlosMD: thankfully no
Woelf: No, it's more of a bell curve.
Der Ubermolch: No. I've met some real ugly blockheads, and some really sharp beauties.
vandemonium: A constant irritant.
autumnweave: No, but I tend to believe that it is, which has led to some bad preconceptions on my part.
MamaRat: Generally yes, unless someone's looks change dramatically. A guy who spent high school as the skinny, shy, smart kid might go off to college and start lifting weights and turn into a total hottie (which can work out really great for the smart but perfectly-average-looking woman he starts dating in college, before he's realized how hot he's become). Or a girl who was really hot in high school and a total ditz might start smoking and get married at 18 and pop out a baby every year and end up looking like a train wreck by 25 but still be an idiot (which works out really great for the awkward, perfectly-average-looking smart girl whose life she made miserable for four years of high school).
WatchmanX2000: no.
penda: sounds good to me!
fruitychick: there are far too many ugly idiots out there for this to be true...
bigmop: I think so.
spartax: Not in my experience. I've got that one guy in mind - you know who I mean. He's about 110 pounds overweight, and yet somehow not that bright . . . I like him, though, I really do.
mattyt91: no
42ndSSD: Nibbles and bytes! Nibbles and bytes! I gotta get me some nibbles and bytes!
CharmlessMan77: I thought so, until I realised how gorgeous and intelligent I am. I might just be an outlier in this statistic though.
Flyspeck23: No.
DHEK: Nope. Some people have a bigger total, some have less.
eduart: roughly yes, beauty grows and brains shrink
mshuster: No
Nimrod6: No
mcross: No, although mine always seems to be a negative number
Kern: only when juding fish
greglios: No
dmomo: Nah
bigbadsteve: maybe
clesiemo3: nope.
scriptorum: Neither beauty not brains last, so the product declines over time, which clearly goes against this "constant" notion you're throwing out there.
Urhixidur: Nope.
Russ G.: No.
puffinge: If it is, then you must be one smart d00d, Randy
KenRude: No
dragonewtking: no, its a sine wave
XenoMaster: Nope, I'm proof and so is my girl
javelin98: Um, no. There are plenty of people with lots of both. There are also plenty of people with very little of either, who, unfortunately, always end up sitting next to me when I take a Greyhound bus anywhere.
brainrob: Thankfully no
Debate: No. More like an S-curve
drummermark: Never
Great Dane: no
bekudno: No. They're not even measurable values.
SenorOcho: No.
Loquutus: Are you using your statistical voodoo on me? Nice try, I'm feller smart.
jasta6: I think so
POvidiusNaso: Nope.
Edbryan: unfortunately no.
fractaloon: ha!
jttm: Sure
skelebone: No, it's a 5-speed.
dakarp: definitely not. There are some stupid ugly people out there.
CDRodeffer: No. Either can approach zero, but neither approaches infinity to offset that.
CortexBomb: It seems to be fairly solid
sos1: No
Spielfreak: Oh gosh, then I must be SOOOOoooooooo smart.
chaddyboy_2000: No.
Lord_Prussian: no
