To sum up...if I understand, our formulas are exactly the same except you compute the "multiplier" based on the amount of people left in the game at the time a loser is being computed when I was using the same multiplier (in the case of a 4-player game...the root of 4) for EACH round of computations. Perhaps that was why it was swinging wildly as it got down to the Last computation.
Do I have it right, now?

Yes,.
Just remember its the Square of the remaining players (n-1), not total number of players. So the looser in a 4 player game will get the root of 3 as the multiplier, not the root of 4
