Yet, Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities and. Don easily disqualifies her as a suitable candidate (even if she is "quite intelligent for a barmaid").

​L'amour n'est pas une science exacte. La comédie romantique de l'année ! Don Tillman a un gros problème. Ce n'est pas son incapacité à vivre en société. Ni ses idées arrêtées sur à peu près tout (à commencer par le homard au dîner, le mardi). Non, le vrai souci de Don, brillant professeur de génétique, c'est le " Problème Épouse ". Sur 100 individus de sexe féminin, 100 ne répondent absolument pas à la liste de critères scrupuleusement établie par lui – et Rosie, étudiante le jour, serveuse la nuit, encore moins que les autres... Et c'est bien là que le théorème se complique.
