$lookup = exp( -2.276 + 0.997 * log( $v ) );

That's a pretty good fit(*) -- a lot closer than I got -- but, this is intended to replace the Mysterious Function, and on balance, I think those constants make it even more mysterious.

I'm not particularly happy with my mysterious lookup table either, but every other attempt I've had screws up the results to a greater or lesser extent, whereas this works. I just need to come up with some documentation to explain it. (Not easy!).

(* However, I would be very interested to know how you derived that equation?)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
