Yes it does. I forgot to mention the material it was cutting was stainless steel. Basically, it was a dumb question that had us to use the simple equation
n=[(lnV2)-(lnV1)]/[(lnT1)-(lnT2)]

then figure out roughly what the tool material was. The answer ended up being High Speed Steal and it was on one of my thousand pages of notes. You wouldn't find the answer anywhere else because it was basically a question of "did you look at your notes?"
