But there may be sites reachable by different names like notbad.com

Or a site that used to be http://www.bigISP.com/~notbad/goodstuff.htm
and changes to being http://notbad.co.uk/goodstuff/index.html with
a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL...

Another idea: You need the hash to be easy to explain. What about
using division? It hardly ever get used in machine computed hashes,
since it is slow.

Good idea. I think it safe to say that there will always be a
calculator available (even if it's only an onscreen calculator).
