This was fun. For those of you with excel, here is a spreadsheet that does all of the work for you. http://www.mckennon.com/HI_Calculator.xls
Expect a java based app coming soon to a website near you!

On sheet 2 the Hamish rating formula should read:
=(F5/$F$3)*(E5/$E$3) // Hamish's parts of the formula is always in the denominator (cells G3 & G4 are similar)

'Twas simply an extreme example to illustrate my point. Nothing more.

For me this is not a race. I'm just geek enough to think about stuff like this and get a small amount of enjoyment from it.

Best regards
Too much work to do it for each kilt. Might be interesting to do but still too much work. Were we all geeks, wholly dyed in the wool, it would be a no-brainer; but, since we're not, I suspect that keeping the rating math simple is the more universally acceptable policy.
I had thought that my post was a proposed revision to the draft standard. Splash_4 has already done the prototype implementation so it would seem that the draft is well on its way to adoption.

It seems appropriate that no matter what formula you use the mighty Hamish is still the one. Us young upstarts who are >1, like Myself, Riverkilt, McClef and all are still compared to our Hamish.

That would be <1. Upstarts are less than 1. Right?

Right you are! It has been updated and uploaded.

.0519 H
Also might need a new SI unit. H is the measure of Henries used in calculating the Capacitive Reactance in an electrical circuit.

I'll wait a whole year before I make mine...

Um, that would be inductance. Henries are used to calculate XL, inductive reactance; and Farads are used in the calculation of XC, capacitive reactance.
You are right about the symbol. Perhaps it's ok to overload H. C is overloaded: it's used in SI for coulombs and Celcius temperature. We could make it °H? Degree of Hamishness? Hr? Hamish rank. Hi? Hamish index. Ham? Simply Hamish. Would need to keep the H though.
Other suggestions?

Reason: Fingers sometimes type go slower than the brain thinks and so leave stuff out when they get confused.
