Okay can someone tell me what the Nunn test is, how to do it, and what it does. All I have been doing is creating CM6K personalities and having them thrash it out against each other, and if you look at my new post for the final results CM-Faber using the Mentor book came last while the CM-6555 using the CM6000 book won very easily. So if you can post in this thread what is nunn and how to do it so I can now try it out I would be happy. Do not send it to my email, it has been playing up a bit thanks
