I'm converting several cheapie 35mm cameras to pinhole cameras as gifts for my nieces and nephews (remove shutter & lens, poke & sand pinhole in bit of aluminum pop can). I want to put an exposure guide (a variant on the old sunny-16 rule) on a sticker on the back to get them started, and wondered of this sounded about right to folks (I'm basing this on my own dabbling, but my records aren't great (my exposure notebook got washed!)(the focal length is about 40 mm, and I haven't figured out an exact f-stop for the pinholes yet).
