I'm just the opposite -- I couldn't remember the formula, but I do remember
(more or less) where it came from.  I saw it in "The Best of Creative
Computing", either Volume I or Volume II.  The book was an anthology of
articles in Creative Computing magazine, a favorite of mine at the time
(okay, so I was in junior high school).  I wonder if it still exists...
