Fix num_entities by using explicit math formula for counting

While reading the source code searching for issues with some crashes I have with this software (I still haven't figured out why there's crashes but I've noticed that under gdb I can no longer obtain them, which means they're sensitive to timing, I think) I noticed this cell-counting function was doing some unnecessary work; I simplified it with the right formula.

@createyourpersonalaccount , it would be good if you could modify the message in the first post adding a couple of sentences on what motivated you to propose this PR, so that anyone who will find this PR in future will be able to remember what the rationale was.
