Default Algorithm Explains All

It's quite simple actually: H(w) x Beq / A + t(c)

H = hours spent waxing
Beq = beer equivalents
A = cosine of sun angle
t = temperature in Celsius

If resultant is under 1 the pop value is increased.
If resultant is over 1 the poop value is increased.
If resultant is over 100 it is night out.
