We'll take 60 possible characters (alphanumeric with caps and a few special characters). The summation 1...N of 60^x is (60/59) (60^N - 1). Known length is 60^N. If we assume N is big enough that the minus one isn't important, you can see going from known to unknown only increases the guesses by a factor of 60/59!
