Well, I had some extra time to burn so I shoved this into a statistics program and did some quick analysis. Most of what I came up with we already have noticed by playing, but there are several places along the exp curve where the needed exp suddenly spikes. The points are at around level 60, 70, 80 and I guess it would be fairly safe to say that 90 would be another point. At these points, the exp curve seem to start using another equation for its determination all together. From 1-60 it's all approximately a simple quadratic equation, and from 60+ it's some power of 10.
Here is the output (which includes a prediction equation) in case anyone's interested:

S = 28413.8 R-Sq = 99.4% R-Sq(adj) = 99.4%

Note: R-sq is a measure of how well the prediction equation 'fits' the data given, the closer it is to 100%, the better, generally speaking, and with that in mind...

...Yea. But even though we have a near-perfect match here, I would hope that these are not the actual equations that allm uses...or someone has to fly over to South Korea and search their HQ for contraband liquor.
I may do more through analysis than just a simple line fit later on, but I'm too burned out from finals to do much of anything right now.
Edit: ...o. Looking at 70-90 there doesn't seem to be much of a difference... so:
