Talk:Recovery time
Why don't we use the following equations: Min days in bed = INT(Health Lost/2), and Max days in bed = INT(Health Lost*3/2)? I think it is a good idea to maintain a uniform equation type throughout the wiki to keep things simple. --Zombie 00:11, 22 Nov 2005 (PST)
Well, I suppose it could also be illustrated as:
Min = H × 0.5 Max = H × 1.5
This would look even simpler than having lots of divides and multiplications. Still, they all mean the same thing.
Unfortunately, the non-math-savvy cannot understand complicated algorithms, while the hardcore mathematician cannot grasp the concept of simple maths. Well known fact. The same can probably be said for linguists. ;)

I added the "Total Days" formula on the basis that it sums up the whole range.
Or are you just referring to the use of * instead of ×, and / instead of ÷?
