Hi Tim,
Looking at your spreadsheet, I think one problem is that you have the
whole thing growing as a power of 0.56, because you have made the
time-dependent size a fixed fraction of the deep size. Instead, one
grows linearly and the other roughly like the square root. I haven't
yet had the time to completely understand what you've done.
I think the spreadsheet is correct here, there is NO dependency of
time-related data on the 0.56 number, and the time-dependent data
does grow linearly.

It sounds like I should not be using a simple 0.1 or 0.01 fraction here,
and we need to rewrite the formula. I will need some hints how to model
this.
thanks,
Jacek
