Code Red Stats

[Nicholas Bachmann <nbachmann () mail davison k12 mi us>]

Hi all-

I think I have found a formula to approximate the number of infected 
hosts.  My formula is

([(Number of Infected Hosts * Number CR Queries p/ Day) / Total IPs on 
the Internet ]^-1) / Average IP Requests p/ Host

So what I would need to know to figure out the approximate number of 
infected hosts:
*How many IPs CR can check in a day (Number CR Queries p/ Day)
*Average Number of times people are checked during a set period, 
probably 5:00a-5:00p (Average IP Requests p/ Host)

Does anyone see any big flaws in this (I know it isn't perfect) formula 
that would keep it from being within a reasonable margin of error?
