Yeah, I've noticed it too. It must be that the marketing department was producing promotional materials before the program was completed

Fixed. A stupid error. Worked correctly for *even* numbers, and silly me forgot to test with odd ones.

Thanks to the both of you for the catch.

Why test? The formula applies to odd and even number just the same.

Forgive me for saying this, but "why test?" is a stupid question. Lesson #1 in programming: All software needs to be tested, and thoroughly. Just because the *formula* works doesn't mean that the *implementation* of the formula in code works as intended.

Ah OK. And it wasn't a stupid question, only a misunderstanding: I thought you "tested" for even/odd numbers in your code, which of course has nothing to do with "testing" software.
