You're right of course Norman, but 1/1 (if indeed it pans out that way) is a
jolly good start for a 2/3 average :-)


I suspect there are people around here who would claim the MO were wrong
if they got 3/3, because they missed the 2/3. So either way the doubters
will not be appeased!


I haven't done the sums, but you would probably need 10-20 forecasts
before you could start to make a judgement of their accuracy.
