Hey!? The jpeg of my cat "Smoopee" that I posted on Blogspot and mention on my Livejournal site has more non-hyperlinked hits than any of your pages. The flow-chart should be turned on its head!! Meeooww!!
In the equation 't1 - tn' are pages linking to page A, 'C' is the number of outbound links that a page has and 'd' is a damping factor, usually set to 0.85.
We can think of it in a simpler way:-
(2) a page's PageRank = 0.15 + 0.85 * (a "share" of the PageRank of every page that links to it)
"share" = the linking page's PageRank divided by the number of outbound links on the page.
A page "votes" an amount of PageRank onto each page that it links to. The amount of PageRank that it has to vote with is a little less than its own PageRank value (its own value * 0.85). This value is shared equally between all the pages that it links to.
From this, we could conclude that a link from a page with PR4 and 5 outbound links is worth more than a link from a page with PR8 and 100 outbound links. The PageRank of a page that links to yours is important but the number of links on that page is also important. The more links there are on a page, the less PageRank value your page will receive from it."
Got it? Good--but can cat-bloggers do this?: "the book that I got this problem out of wants you to do it in base eight. But don't panic. Base eight is just like base ten really - if you're missing two fingers. Shall we have a go at it?"

P.S. What is a Pagerank of 10/10 anyway?
Anny:
Pagerank is Google's blog-ranking system, logarithmically scaled between 1 and 10 (maximum), calculated thus:
"all of [a blog's] inbound links are taken into account. These are links from within the site and links from outside the site.
(1) PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + ... + PR(tn)/C(tn))
In the equation 't1 - tn' are pages linking to page A, 'C' is the number of outbound links that a page has and 'd' is a damping factor, usually set to 0.85.
