Awesome work DirectorT. Really!

I am a bit of a math dweeb myself, but not at your level apparently. I did test a few levels of DavidG's method (Can't bring myself to call it a "formula" ) and I did see that it worked for every one I tested. So I assumed it would be correct forever. I figured there was a way to mathematically prove it, but my brain started hurting when I tried, so I quit.

Well, if you really were curious (and I certainly hope you're not), my semi-versed eye wants to say that proving this should probably involve mathmatical induction, and the principle thereof. 'Course, the Last "math" course I took was Analysis of Algorithms, and said principle was my main tool therein...

Well, I did learn one thing... how to successfully bait math geeks. And to think how many of you were passed on the starring role in "A Beautiful Mind."



Well, needless to say I found this info valuable, but as a pragmatist I bailed out mentally when arithmetic proofs popped up. OUCH!

What I'm trying to say is thanks, especially to Andres, for his quick response.

I think most PBW players will find this info quite pertinent. It should limit the amount of stumbling around when figuring out trade values.
