I guess the English formula should be fixed with s/ multiplied\K for n-1/ by a-1/, i.e.
3^3 = 1 + (3 - 1) * (3^0 + 3^1 + 3^2) = 1 + 2 * (1 + 3 + 9) = 1 + 2 * +13 = 1 + 26 = 27
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Yes -- it's missing a 'multiplied by' in exactly the place you're describing.
