1/1√2+1 = 1/2.8 = 0.36 (approx)

Unless I am missing something, how did you get to this? I thought it would be 1/1√2+1 = 1/2.4 - (since √2 = 1.4 )
you are right, I am getting older :?

1/2.4 = 0.42

Depends, if I were running out of time and don't want to deal with crazy roots, I would plug couple of numbers for POE and select one and move forward. :idea:
