SJ...I will fix it if it continues to stump the experts.

Seriously. There are more than enough REAL problems to solve without making more.
A minute wasted looking for problems you already know about is a minute less of playing SE4 for me.

I guess I should just ignore this thread for a while, instead.

SJ. I am sorry you feel that way.

I can understand the frustration of knowing that there is something not right with the data and the insecurity of having to rely on incorrect information.

For myself, I like games. And I was hoping there are others out there who feel the way I do and will take up the challenge I threw out.

Often, I will spend hours trying to solve a puzzle which has no practical purpose whatsoever.

But the challenge I threw out does have a real purpose in addition to the fun aspect. I am not perfect. I assumed I made other mistakes. As it has turned out, a number of my mistakes have already surfaced.

Unfortunately we can be lazy creatures. There is a lot of data presented here and sometimes it is just easier to accept the data as it is presented rather than question its validity.

The challenge is meant to engage those who like a puzzle.

The challenge also points out the fact that if I made one mistake, there very well could be others which may remain uncorrected unless the data is examined in a critical manner.

However, I do not want to be the cause unnecessary frustration and irritation. If I get a deluge of demands to correct it immediately, I would have no problem doing so.

As it stands, the error has not yet been discovered.
