A numerical expression in the form of an integral is given for the determinant of the scalar GJMS operator on an odd--dimensional sphere. Manipulation yields a curious sum formula for the logdet in terms of the logdets of the ordinary conformal Laplacian for other dimensions. A few graphs are drawn.
