[edit] Original research

The paragraph after the table, which I have tentatively entitled "Observations", appears to contain original research, which is prohibited in Wikipedia articles. Opinions such as "It may therefore be worth studying..." and "A number of qualifications about the Table are, additionally, worth noting." must be credited to reliable, third-party published sources. I have tagged with {{originalresearch}} for now, but if someone can provide the sources from which these opinions come, or remove them if they were not so previously published, it would be helpful. -- Satori Son 14:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] undivided seconds

Does anyone know how the results from subjects where undivided seconds are published are included in the table? Lexy lexy 13:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I am the author. I allocate 2.5 points to them. I cannot derive any other method. Peter Tompkins 19:02, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
