For every epsilon of licentiousness, there exists a delta of venus, such that...? (as an algebraist, it seems analysts spend an awful lot of time chasing tails!)

I have been brought up in a culture where seduction follows a sequence ("running the bases"); are there cultures where that does not suffice, and seduction requires more sophistication: a net*, say, or even a filter?

* in line with the genre fiction cover kind of net, someone once won a competition we had at uni for "best line to get a member of the appropriate sex into your room" with 75 pound test, eg https://fr.aliexpress.com/i/839412765.html

The epsilon of tail-chasing beats the delta of (phallic) symbol pushing!

Re: uni- Cantabrigian?

Yes, for "better" seduction technik, you should restrict your search to uni culture.

No, although I do have a fair amount of shelf space devoted to a CS book series (published by that breakaway technical college somewhere in the fens) all of which are in shades of what I would've called green, but a cantab colleague informed me was in fact blue.

If either of us had had any irish gaelic, maybe we would've agreed upon glas? see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_lang...

No iG but likewise my uni can be said to have Brythonic roots. (As opposed to merely Anglo-Saxon)

Tonnerre de Brest ! Swansea by any chance? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40013890

No, I was referring to that one female Pilgrim whose descendant founded my uni.

To make it more equitable, my uni was the ancestor of SBF's alma mater (bureaucratically as well as vexillarily).

If that's too much travail, consider that its location is the namesake of an oikos that perpetually draws in a certain Homeric hero.
