			On the page, it gives an equation to find out the chance of a rod being struck by lightning. The equation is here:

			1 - (charges rods / total rods)

			One of the examples shows this:

			50% of the rods are charged, so that means there is a 75% chance of one being struck.


			So let's do the math, with an example number of rods.

			1 - (5 charges rods / 10 total rods)

			1- (0.5) = 50%

			Am I missing something that makes 75% correct?
			If it's a mistake on my part, then I apologize.
