I think you are pretty much right-on in your thinking. Ray does have a point that at times you may need 30. But what if they are close after 30, or 50, or 100! You have to stop somewhere. I would need to see a result where a program was ahead by 2 after 20 and down by a dozen after 50 before I changed my mind. Regards. George PS: Keep up the good work I taught you!
