Well, did you expect better from the "Daily Fail"?
Regarding the formula, it's almost the sort of thing you have to work backwards because the key element of the formula is "-r"--the relationship between the killer and victim, and you don't know that until you determine the killer (and, sometimes with Christie, even who the victim actually is). Anyway, I'm glad I've read all of Christie's work so I don't have to worry about some formula spoiling my enjoyment.

/But what would Seepy Benton say?
When I first read a report about this, my first thought was, "So, if you know who the killer is, you can predict who the killer is."
