On the 1st of October he settled on a title. On the 6th of October, the system was tested in the field.G3 is nine pairs of chapters - each theory chapter written in 2005, preserved as legacy code, paired with a practice chapter written twenty years later. The gap between those two voices is where the book lives.Not quite self-help. Not quite memoir. Not quite comedy. All three, in a bathrobe, holding a martini.The system covers: - Who is fair game (and the precise mathematics of degrees of separation)- How to guess her age without insulting her- Why dinner is a terrible first date- The two-word rule - and why geeks always break it- The Girlfriend function: when exactly is 'it' on - Who to tell, in what order, and why you never tell the exes anythingThe theories are real.

He has a PhD and now lives on the Mornington Peninsula, a long way away from Sydney.'Nothing in life is simple. except true love.' - Theory 1, page thirteen.…
