Calling shenanigans. 

The total number of points is 177.

It should always be 200.  This means that 23 points are missing.

I vote to subtract 23 from Oldfield. Cool

Only two bands are above 20.  That means there is bullsh*t afloat.

When I first posted this I didn't think it would take off this quickly. I stopped trying to check to make sure everyone's posts were accurate when there started to be 5 pages worth of new posts. Confused

It is troubling to me either way:

Either some people are cheaters or cannot count.

The count should always be divisible by twenty, but it needn't always be 200. When a band is added to the hall of shame, you remove a zero and add a twenty, increasing the count by twenty. When one is added to the hall of fame, you remove a forty and add a twenty, decreasing the count by twenty.

At this point, I think we should just agree to overlook the discrepancy, since trying to correct it would be a collossal headache.

P.S. Twelve bands have been added to the hall of fame, ten have been added to the hall of shame. That means that the total should be 160, not 200.

You are right.

Still, Boo.  That is a discrepancy of 17.  Too much to care.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you in principle. It pisses me off just as much as you. But I don't want to be the one to comb through 72 pages to look for math errors. I do that for a day job. Smile

LOL Yet you encounter with math-rock, right? Smile

I don't know if anyone would care, but maybe we should distribute those 23 points in some way.

I'm calling people who can't copy from the previous post. Tongue
 
The errors (and they are just silly errors) are distributed throughout the thread. The first cock-up occurs here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=88006&PID=4563911#4563911 ... need I continue Rob or shall we just ignore it?
What?
