I can't help you with the math (have no clue what a quetelet is) but you will need to add a getch() immediately following that scanf() to remove the <Enter> key from the keyboard buffer. scanf() does not do that for you.

OK, I didn't know that... Sorry, I have tried it once or twice, and it worked on my compiler... What can I say... I feel ashamed....
