Math again Posted by Ainaechoiriel June 20, 2004 - 20:27:47 Topic ID# 1630
The numbers are one off again because I accidentally clicked a link and
found Shakes' story to be titled Messages and not Messengers. The database
had Messages first. Then I found a nomination with Messengers and apparently
both got entered into the DB. So I deleted the one titled Messengers as
that is not correct. That leaves the DB with one less story than the
spreadsheet.

So there may still be a duplicate floating about..

And I think I've found it! I sorted the spreadsheet by titles and found to
"A Mother's Day" stories.

I've deleted it from the Drama category because the DB has it in the Hobbits
category.

And that sets our numbers straight! 573 nominations in the spreadsheet and
573 non-declined (577-4) in the DB!

Math problem is solved!

.Unless we find another duplicate...

I should have knocked on wood, huh?

Meckinock's In the Hands of the Enemy was in Adventure and Mystery. In
Mystery it stays. So now we're one short of the DB.

And yet another, Jilian's Ressurection is in Orcs and LOTR/Cross-Cultural.
In Orcs it will stay. Now we're 2 short of the DB.

And another, Werecat's That Way is in Mystery and Adventure. In Mystery it
stays. Now we're 3 short.

And Dwim's The Hamster. In LOTR/Poetry and Men/Poetry. In Men it stays. 4
short.

And another. I'm getting a sinking feeling in my stomach. How about you?
Shadow975's Too Late for Misgivings in Men/Gondor and LOTR/Gondor. It stays
in Men. 5 short.

Ouch. That hurt.

Now, where do we find those five stories?
