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.
