n = the number of bad guys.x = the number of good guys. J = the number of______present, if any.

The equation reads, "The probability of a bad guy hitting his target is equal to the inverse of all bad guys present plus the cube of the number of good guys present (plus one) plus the number of ______ present (plus one) to the tenth power."

From this, one can infer that the presence of a good guy has a detrimental effect on the bad guys' accuracy, while having even one ________ present is a veritable death sentence.

What is the name of this equation and/or the phenomenon it describes?

Star Wars hit probability equation/Stormtrooper Effect

11.Roger Avary , one of the scriptwriters of the movie, says that when they wrote the script forX,the briefcase contained diamonds.But the director had just used a case of diamonds as a major plot device inhis last movie, and he and Avary agreed that it was too boring and predictable to do that again. So they decided not to show them, thus giving the whole thing an air of mystery.As for the glowing of the briefcase, it was nowhere in the script. Avary says : Somebody had the bright idea (which I think was a mistake) of putting an orange light bulb in there. Suddenly what could have been anything became anything supernatural. Didn't need to push the effect. People would have debated it for years anyway, and it would have been much more subtle.Which suitcase?
