Got it I think. I was writting out the alphabet without the sharps. and looking at the diagram you posted
B 1st (WS)
C# 2nd (HS)
D minor 3rd (WS)
E 4th (WS)
F# 5th (HS)
G minor 6th (WS)
A minor 7th (WS)
B 1st

I was counting the B note as the root whole step which it should have been
B to c# whole
C# to d half
D to e whole
E to f# whole
F# to g half and so on or am i still wrong? with the formula i used to did get the right notes this time
