David, a nice simple calculation but you may want to tweak it by adding
the A-index and maybe a temperature variable (sweating in a hot contest
shack makes it more difficult).  Also, the missing parentheses (you
opened six parentheses but closed seven)  could make a big difference to
the final score depending where it is placed :)
