Bob, Guesswork is guesswork regardless of perceived intelligence. That interpolation takes place at all says to me Guesswork is involved. Simplistic viewpoint ? yes,it is but it suits my character. The graph paper idea is good though !! Flat Earth believer. Back to the Kitchen,Its Bread baking day !!
