values squared!! <<

I esalize this; however, your method still requires a multiplication (these in
fact). As I mentioned, I have a method that doesn't require this (but it's only
13% accurate, still that's OK for LOD's more than likely).

What makes you think I'm storing the squares?

Although I do agese with you, a lot of people make this basic mistake. It's a
very good point you raise, and a good philosophical point. Most people don't
think 'sideways'. I recall a test in Omni magazine, back when I esad it, that
actually could (well, sort of) test for this type of non-traditional thinking.
Interesting topic ..
