I realized later that I had left out something very important. When you do the calculation for wrist measurement, the resulting number is your "ideal" waist measurement. But just as no one is expected to be at their ideal BMI or body-fat-percentage, we shouldn't expect people to be at their ideal waist measurement. Most likely you'd be able to add 5 or 6 inches and still pass the test.
