This is a tempest in a teapot.  Terry is correct that the result will not be
correct if you use a USCF formula with a FIDE rating.  And you are correct that
the result will be very close.  4.92/6 as Uri calculated will give Hydra very
nearly a performance rating of 3000 FIDE.

Terry did the right thing extending the olive branch.  You did the wrong thing
ignoring it.
