Mark,
The legend on the first chart in section 2. should be labled billions not millions.
Cheers,

You say that you don't know if the formulas for calculating ohms on parallel wiring are the same. Well, they are.
Quick poorf:
a and b are some real numbers.
(a * b) : (a + b)
<=> 1 : (1 : ((a * b) : (a + b)))
<=> 1 : ((a + b) : (a * b))
<=> 1 : ( a : (a * b) + b : (a * b) )
<=> 1 : ( 1 : b + 1 : a )

Alternatively you can think of it with negative exponentes:
<=> (((a * b) : (a + b))^-1)^-1
<=> ((a + b) : (a * b))^-1
<=> ( a : (a * b) + b : (a * b) )^-1
<=> (b^-1 + a^-1)^-1

Well, it's a bit clumsy to represent math with ASCII, but I suppose one should be able to understand those. Just to make it absolutely clear:
* is multiplication
: is division
and <=> is equivalence
