I would recommend reading the paper… which has a few more words in it, and therefore should be clearer.

Further down you say only the first half of Nov is valid but it is by no means clear what you mean and the exact days etc.

Finally you have a bar chart which is numbered 1 to 16 on the bottom but it is difficult to see how this relates to the rest of the article.

The bar chart numbers are the ordinals of the days of November, it is the “last figure” referred to in the text, and you can see how the effect of this blocking rule decreases on the 12th Nov, and becomes far less effective from the 13th onwards.

Sorry but I’m going to sound picky again 8(

I know the dates involved are very much in your head but that is not the case for the first time reader.

When you say a graph shows 7 weeks and the pivitol event happens on Tue of week 6 I had to go back to the top of the article to find 11th Nov.

Further down you say only the first half of Nov is valid but it is by no means clear what you mean and the exact days etc.

Finally you have a bar chart which is numbered 1 to 16 on the bottom but it is difficult to see how this relates to the rest of the article.

I’m assuming it relates to the days in the first half of Nov?
