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.
