Hi, Albert Chan:

I had to convince myself this work for Geometric Mean.

Good explanation. Though the code has to include the Geometric Mean as an special case to avoid the 1^∞ you mention, the generalized formula does actually work for values of k approaching from both sides. For instance, using my original solution we get:

      >RUN
            ? 1.999999   ->   4.3224 57 34930    {  M_1.999999 (general case)  }
            ? 2          ->   4.3224 71 15132    {  M₂ (special case = Geometric Mean)  }
            ? 2.000001   ->   4.3224 78 34444    {  M_2.000001 (general case)  }
