The 10% theory (with added horse)
Discussion
Spend 25 minutes giving a car a good wash, and 35 minutes giving it a fast but thorough polish, and in 1 hour you'll have it looking 90% as good as a car which has had a 10 hour valeting job with a clar bar, a post-rinse, PH balanced pre-wash, actual wash, several coats of polish, sealer and glaze, wax, reflections finish etc etc 
Its kinda like the horse race theory. The horse that won didnt run twice as fast as the others, he just made sure (or his jockey did) that he was a nose ahead when he crossed the line. Two different theories, but I like them both. Where are you on the scale of things?
In business, my clients get what they pay for, but we always try to give them more than they expected they would get But in my personal life, im a 10% guy. I didnt always used to be, but life is too short to spend 90% of my time 'winning' the extra 10%. Sometimes.
If anyone has a 10% theory on women I'd be interested to hear it

I spent 10% of the time washing my car today and it looks shite, as I took it to the local jetwash and was too mean to pay for Hot Wax
However, as I expect a toxic cloud of burnt petroleum to fall upon it next time it rains, I'm not too fussed.

Shirley thats the one where you dnt waste time with chat. Just go straight up and ask "can I
" you?" According to statistics, you should get lucky with 10%. Unfortunately, you have to make sure you get that 10% on the first attempt, otherwise the other 90% willprobably render you unconcious.
Hope this helps.

Bob - It`s a bit worrying, the amount of thought and planning which you are prepared to put into this!
You really dont need a BBC badge, although something along those lines IS a genius idea. Did a very similar thing with two mates and a pukka video camera (not one of the little handheld jobbies) a friend "borrowed" from work.
The resulting attention is shocking
It helps if you're all a couple of drinks down but not pished and arent the shy retiring type!
