Thread length = j.{BS content}.[e^-k.{BS'ters participating}]

... this, the equation for quantum shoveling.

you sure that shouldn't be e^(-k/BS'rs participated) ?

Thanks for the correction! Glad someone 'round here can show they've got a grip on the basics!

Funny, z=e^(-a/(xy)) was my math-analysis2 exam question.
Why I do remember it? My teacher (that old SOB) used to call it "the butterfly equation" as it gives butterfly shapes if you section it with planes parallel to the XY planes.
