Underwear Latency

Underwear latency is the least number of pairs of underwear you require such that you never run out of underwear, given that you must change your underwear everyday, and your clothes get washed after every x days.

Basic Underwear latency = x + 1 (for the day that your clothes get washed)

Underwear Latency, given that you need an extra pair every n days =
if x > n : x + 1 + floor function of (x/n)
if n > x : x + 1 + floor function of (n/x)

Though to be really honest, my frequency of washing clothes is determined by how many underwears I possess at any given time.

True. You must carry out an experiment to find out what is dependent on what factors!
