Hmm. Should that not be "MegaHelen" then :-)


Er, nope. Helen of Troy was the woman with "the beauty to launch
1,000 ships". 1/1000th of that would be a "millihelen". A "megahelen"
would be the beauty to launch 1,000,000,000 ships. Perhaps the formula
would help (powers of 10, not 2):

I missed that part and understand now. (crawls away into small hole....)


Thanks
