Contesting for Idiot du Jour

[Roger Guay]

I’m having trouble understanding this last message or how you got these results, but I guess you’re right about this topic being somewhat straying from LC. 
So, I want to say I really appreciate your help and ideas. I will continue to attempt to push back the frontiers of my ignorance.

Thanks and cheers,
Roger

So there ecertainly is a bias towards points in the upper and lower quarter.
