There is only 1 basketball in play during a basketball game. If a team has more white players on the court than there are basketballs in play that team has a greater chance of loosing the game. The ratio should be at most 1 to 1 and ideally 0 to 1 (no white guys to one basketball). This is not a 100% guarantee just a good rule of thumb.
Most pro & college basketball teams have very few white guys and infrequently play more than 1 at a time. They almost never violate the white guy to basketball ratio rule.

Also known as the Aargh Quotient, the Tool-Problem Ratio (“TPR”) is a DIY term expressing the relationship between a physical problem to be fixed and the tool available for the task. A 1:1 ratio reflects that the tool is perfect for the job -- e.g., when a nail clipper is available to trim a toenail, the TPR is 1:1. Ratios of greater than 1:1 indicate that the tool available is excessive relative to the job: a chainsaw generates a ratio of, say, 200:1 for toenail trimming. Ratios of less than 1:1 indicate that the tool at hand is inadequate for the task: a toenail clipper produces a ratio of, say, 1:1000 for cutting down a Christmas tree. Depending on the TPR, responsive behaviors may range from mild (swearing, sighing disgustedly), to driving to the hardware store, to breaking the workpiece or the tool violently.
Faced with a Tool-Problem Ratio ("TPR") of about 1:10 when his flat-blade screwdriver was too big to loosen the Phillips-head screw on his range vent, Bob intoned “Jesus H. Christ” under his breath and motored off to Home Depot.

A form of naming people in a group, usually siblings, where the former 3 share similar names and the latter one has a name that completely stands out. A great example would be that one show called Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Don (I think that was correct) from a time that I can't quite remember.
Some Farmer: Here's my boys, Larry, Garry, Barry, and Nail. I thought that it would be useful to use the 3:1 Naming Ratio.
Me: What's that last one's name again?
Some Farmer: Nail.
Me: Why Nail?
Some Farmer: Because he was born with a nail square in his forehead.
Me: How is anyone born with a nail already in their forehead?
Some Farmer: Strange things happen on a farm.
