Hi Steve & All,
    The math is fine but I thought the terminology was strange, mistakenly 
assuming  haploid to mean half-ploid. So that F grade should have been for 
Terminology.
    When in doubt consult the manual-- the haplo of haploid comes from Greek 
for simple; the diplo of diploid from Greek for double.
    Dave
