I thought it was default=1 but obviously that isn't true. Is there some way I 
can find the calculated DEFAULT degree of parallelism that Oracle might be 
using ?

I think
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/clauses006.htm#SQLRF20024
[1] holds the answer: 

"If PARALLEL_DEGREE_POLICY is set to MANUAL, then the optimizer
calculates a degree of parallelism equal to the number of CPUs available
on all participating instances times the value of the
PARALLEL_THREADS_PER_CPU initialization parameter." 

The other scenarios are found on that page as well. 

HTH! GL!
