Solving a Hardy-Weinberg Calculation

The idea
This procedure solves a full Hardy-Weinberg problem, from an observed recessive-phenotype frequency to predicted counts of every genotype in the population.
Where people slip
Phenotype alone reveals only the homozygous recessive genotype directly — the homozygous dominant and heterozygous counts are estimates the equations supply, not directly observed values.
