reciprocity failure for HP5+

I came across something on the internet today about reciprocity failure,
specifically about HP5+. It said that to calculate RF, all you have to do
is raise the metered time to the 1.48 power. The formula was Ec=Em^1.48,
where Ec is the corrected time and Em is the metered time. Is it really
that simple? I went back to my RF chart and redid all the numbers, using a
nifty calculator that I found online. It seems
that this formula gave times that were slightly longer than what I had (from
a book).

Now all I need is a new calculator...
