Starting at midfield, lay out the 5 yard divisions on a logarithmic scale so that they are squeezed together at midfield and get bigger as they approach the goal lines. A first down at midfield would only require a ‘true’ 3 yards (10 on a logarithmic scale), while the last logarithmic 5 yard advance to the goal line would cover a ‘true’ 15 yards.

       Am I wrong in spelling it "logarhythmic"? That just looks like how it should be.
