should be more massive than an electron... and there are certain to be other errors of haste.

BTW in one Physics model the proton, with 3 constituent quarks, has 3 times the mass of up and down quarks (the up and down quark constituent masses being equal), and the proton/electron mass ratio is calculated to be:

3 x 2 pi^5 = 6 pi^5 = 1,836.12

which is fairly nifty if one might wish to add some kind of "dimensional" significance to the fifth power.
