Enter the —or as Sheldon shrieks at his mother, "The Minimum Potential Energy Theorem!" young sheldon s02e09 mpc

Sheldon calculates his bridge to be mathematically perfect. It’s elegant. It’s symmetrical. It adheres perfectly to the MPC. Sheldon knows that even a hairline fracture changes

But there is one variable he forgot to factor in: It is intellectually dishonest

And then the magic happens:

There are two types of people in this world: those who think a "Family Game Night" is about bonding, and those who think it’s about the ruthless application of mathematical optimization.
