BRITISH researchers have developed a guaranteed method of pulling Christmas crackers, but it's not for the mathematically challenged.
The experts said the method for always winning the long end of the cracker, and therefore the prize inside, is in the angle that you grip it - and have released a mathematical formula to follow.
Cracker-pullers are guaranteed success if they follow the formula O11xC/L+5xQ which is based on the angle, grip and quality of the cracker.
