The 'First law of the Soviet equation' applies to the longest math equations, those that make you wanna puke just from looking at it length.
'When the equation looks very complicated, boring and long, there's high probability of the answer being (0) or (1).'
A: As soon as I saw the math homework for today, I instantly gave up and didn't even try to solve those equations.
B: Man, you just had to apply the 'First law of the Soviet equation' to complete it all.

The Van Schwack Law

Share definition
When the explanation for why something is incorrect takes far longer to say then it does to say the incorrect thing. Like when someone like a guy named Van Schwack calls a false equivalency an apples to apples comparison and the explanation takes far longer than one sentence to explain a one sentence mistake.
Van Schwack,"that comparing apples to apples I don't see the false equivalency"

Intelligent people," oh boy that's going to take a while to explain. The Van Schwack Law told me this would happen. "
