I would like to know the “Hand waving” method.
Go to the B of Y or some other source and determine the caloric content. Math is involved, scribble it down on a white board so you don't have to do it again.
Yell about the nasty sink you are dealing with.
Wave your hands to see if anybody in the kitchen is alive and can see or hear, or if they are all friggin zombies (I do have a shotgun).
When the sink gets cleaned, go back to the white board and figure out how to do the derivation of the sugar extraction over time in a boiling solution at atmospheric pressure (water boils at 209F here).
That's the handwaving method.
You'll need knife skills.
