That should be ( [wordcount(1) * wordcount(2) * . . . . wordcount(n)]^
(1/n)) / n

8^-3 = 0.001953125
8^(1/3) = 2

And my googlewhack (henceforth known as G.W.) of spelunking yeti nuggets
gets my a Reverse Osmosis calculation of 37858 for an index of 37.0

[(20,700 x 181,000 x 391,000) ^ (1/3)] / 3

Not too bad.
