To make a worker0
Terran: press s
Protoss: press e
Zerg: press s, and d

Zerg has double the presses, Zerg is twice as hard

3 minute mark
Terran: 1 base
Protoss: 1 base
Zerg: 2 base

Zerg has twice as many bases. Zerg is twice as hard

Spending 50 minerals

Terran: 1 unit
Protoss: 1/2 a unit
Zerg: 2 UNITS!

Zerg has double the units, has to do double the micro... Zerg is twice as hard

Zealot vs Zergling

1 Zealot = 4 zerglings

Zerg has to have 4 times more units. Zerg is 4 times as hard.

Final Formula

[Make worker] 2 * [Spend 50] 2 * [3 minute mark] * 2 [zealot v ling] * 4 = [Total] 32

Q.E.D Zerg is 32 times as hard to play as the other two races

References
In depth analysis of math used to come to this conclusion

One time critics who have been convinced through the rigorous science of this formula

Haha i was ready for a flamefest but this is a fun blog XD. I could imagine interview with David Kim on why the recent Zerg buff "Well you see we came across a startling discovery that Zerg is 32x harder to play!" How did you come up with that number? "Undisclosed research information back in the SC2 labs"
Plays against every MU with nexus first.

Solid proof. Rinny's Theorem will for sure be referred to plenty in the scientific ESPORTS community.

I think it would be cool if they used this to adjust the outcome of the games.a T or a P would have to 32 times the econ of the Z in order to win. If a blizzard rep wants to pm me we can work on integrating it into the client .

Hell no. It's stupid. We're not 3 year-olds. It's a stupid blog trying to be funny.

You could say that the milk for my cornflakes basically consists of piss, because I'd call a stupid blog stupid anytime.
