(Really?) For fun, anyway,

I guess my inclination is to call it the Levinson-Castrioti Scale of 
Question Difficulty (trying to give credit where credit is due-- 
DavidLevinson inspired the idea by trying to figure out whether Tonio 
Kroger or Felix Krull was more difficult using google), yet the 
equation 10-logN = difficulty (where N = hits on google), as far as I 
know, is original. Plus, I think it somehow sounds more academic with 
a hyphen  --This, of course, only if DavidLevinson has no objection...
