It does if u use the date in that format. In MS excel it converts the date to a # of days I think is the unit based on starting at 1/1/1900 or whatever it is, you also have to convert your answer (y) to hh:mm:ss from days.
ok so sometime around 2000 the # of days was 36,500.
y = .357(36,500)^-.119 = 0.102 days
That's 2.448 hours or 2:26. Almost 20 percent off.
Around 1970 x was 25,550.
y = .357(25,550)^-.119 = .107 days = 2.56 hours = 2:33
Your formulas aren't withstanding scrutiny.
