Dave V rides to the rescue! Again!

I remember now that he was the first to question the formula way back when. The bottom line to it all - as reflected in DV's link - is that the formula is faulty, and even when it's fixed, it appears to apply only to maps of a certain size.

Oh, and you need to be a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician to even begin to do the calculation. I mean, what the #$%^*@'s an Intiger!?

I have tested the corruption formula, and it is false. See thread Corruption and waste
