Thanks. I think I understand now, partly. The apostrophe is an abbreviation for
minutes.

Can you possibly please also clarify the CEGT 40/40 link at:
 http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/ranglisteall.html#2
They don't use an apostrophe, and again, I can't find their 40/40 defined
anywhere. In fact I can't find anything basic describing their tests. Surely
they have a page somewhere which summarizes and defines everything and explains
how their system operates. I see your name at:
http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/
so you probably know and understand what they're doing. It's an unusual home
page design (if that's what it is) and it has me a bit baffled. Clicking the
various links thereon doesn't really clarify it for me. I suppose I could
understand it if someone would point me in the right direction(s), but maybe I'm
getting too old and stupid... :)
