Oh, this is just swell. I act like Mr. Smarty Pants, sending a nit-picking
post correcting Barry's formula, and I can't get the decimal point right.
You can see that my work improved greatly in the mid-1970's with the advent
of the cheap calculator. I still have all of my slide rules though, ready
for those occasions when I don't care if I get the order of magnitude
right...
