At last I finished Math final exam last Friday. You know, I have been having hard time to catch up the Math classes because I didn't study Math in high school. Nevertheless, thanks to some friends who helped me both online and offline, I could manage to finish the class with (hopefully) a good grade :) Anyway, that's the background of how this formula was born. I felt like celebrating my successful Math career somehow. haha. Well, of course this one is neither proven nor precise. However, it does reflect my hypothesis about improving Go skills.
I hope you have fun seeing this!

You may try it for just fun! :)
Btw, I think there are several things to be more specific at the formula., like player's level. I'm confused how to give myself rank.. perhas should be more specific, like 100 for professional, 95 for 6-7dan, 90 for 5 dan, and so on.
the talent, though it's quite understandable why you chose it as a variable, is also hard to be converted to number @_@, but I have no idea how to measure this one...
also I think the result should have a converter. like, 1 stone/year for 100,000 points and so on (just example of course XD )
