How many back links do I need for any given Google PageRank (TM)?

This answer is based on the PageRank estimate formula created by Lord Matt.

The number of back links you will need assuming that you have a statistically normal distribution of links with respect to value falls between two boundaries.  At some point within the two values (depending on different factors) you should find that a page increases in rank.

Please note this does not take "sandbox mode" and site "newness" into consideration but addresses only the issue of back links and page rank.  All other things being equal you could expect to "level up" within those ranges.

PageRank Back links Needed
1 1 2
2 9 12
3 49 56
4 225 240
5 961 992
6 3,969 4,032
7 16,129 16,256
8 65,025 65,280
9 261,121 261,632
10 1,046,529 1,047,552

The lower boundary is created using the formula cited but the upper boundary takes the formula and applies it to zero such that the range n for function f starts at -1 and the result is rounded.
