Clive, yes, I agree with you. There are much more chances to succeed if you apply "The Rule of Thumb" in situations where the calculator failed completely or even malfunctioned. I, like the majority of people, prefer so-called mnemonic rules like "Virgins make dull companions" to VMDC correct-uncorrect sequence. I, as was mentioned earlier, just added that little formula to the vast ocean of knowledge and real hands-on expertise of guys like you. And I hope that maybe somewhere someday somebody will find that formula handy. As simple as that.
