No. Are you dreaming?

But this

Yadda yadda yadda... :) It seems to me you get even less than me from all this.

It' so simple: That formula gives of course DIFFERENT RATINGS to programs which
have achieved a DIFFERENT NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS. Hagra recommends that programs
which solved from 54 to 73, or even from 19 to 54, should have the same test
ratings! Crazy!

What is YOUR opinion about this? Should programs which solve 19 or 54, get the
same rating? The test formula calculates for these program's performances

19 sol. --> 2.553
55 sol. --> 2.649

But Hagra attaches 2.600 to both. I wonder who else accepts this as serious :))
Send in the clowns...
