I wish people would stop trying to pretend there's a direct correlation with the two level systems and realize that they changed the system for a REASON. They didn't just get rid of numbers because they thought it'd be cute to throw math games into calculating Pump levels. It's meant as a freaking overhaul of the level system.
Read what I added to the wiki article:

A completely new difficulty system consisting of stars, skulls, or question marks. There are eight slots for either stars or skulls; one star is equivalent to two difficulty points on the Exceed/Zero scale (half-stars equal one point and seven stars is the maximum amount seen for any song), and skulls, while widely believed to roughly represent one difficulty point above 15 or 16, is in actuality a new scale with all songs re-evaluated and re-rated, giving the songs new ratings which don't necessarily correlate with ratings of past mixes. A "????????" rating is given to songs that are "beyond the charts" (such as Chimera or Final Audition Episode 2-2 Nightmare - although both have been A'ed by expert players), gimmick charts that are meant to be impossible for one player (FAE2-2 Another Nightmare, Bee Another Nightmare, Chimera Another Nightmare), or charts that are meant for two players at the same time (LIADZ and LIADZ2 Another Nightmare).
