[Boatanchors] CQ Feb '11 protecting capacitors in series

[Dick KF4NS]

Ok, I need to be educated. first of all, they look like they are in 
parallel. What am I forgetting?

Next, Table 1, it is all Greek to me (no offense). Is there a simpler 
way to make this calculation?

I have done this before but never gave any regard to theoretical 
calculations. I just put about 100K across them. Must have heard or 
read this somewhere and just do it blindly. As I said, educate me 
please.
