Calculating FEP's

Piglet Wurst - Wiki Incorrect?

Wiki FEP table says 3 strength, but I get 5.

It's based off of quality. The base is three, times the quality, with its decimal moved one to the right, then rounded.
So a piglet wurst with 22q would give 6FEP iirc/have the maths right.

[sabinati]

the wiki lists the FEP amounts for q10, or base quality, so anything higher quality will give more FEP

i think it's actually base*SQRT(Q/10)

what?

therefore ^^ = 3 x 22 = 66.0 (base of 3 x quality of 22)
= 660 (move decimal one position right)
huh?

what is SQRT?

[sabinati]

square root

@ Sabinati

OK, then if you don't mind, please verify that equation for this mathematically challenged being. The square root of what - the base/quality?

So is it (with q22): 3 x (SQRT of 22) x (Q/10)
3 x 4.69 (rounded any way?) x 2.2 (rounded again?)
...?

[sabinati]

FEP = B * √(Q/10)
3 * √(22/10)
3 * √2.2
3 * 1.4832397
4.4497191

[Sarge]

FEP = B * √(Q/10)
3 * √(22/10)
3 * √2.2
3 * 1.4832397
4.4497191

K, I got that in my last effort to get a closer answer too, thanks. In the final figure, which way does rounding go?

<5 round down
=>5 round up

[Sarge]

Rounded to the nearest round number then - thanks all.
