<div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:10pt">Hey <br />
<br />
First, my mea culpa<br />
<br />
I apologize. It was pointed out to me that the data I posted wasn’t correct. I resisted. I pushed back. I was positive my data had been correct. It turns out, I was incorrect and I was incorrect. In other words, the data I posted earlier wasn’t correct and I was also in error when I insisted that my data was correct. I feel like the person who handed out the wrong envelope just before someone yelled, “The Winner is LaLa Land,” on the Oscars. <br />
<br />
A special thanks to David G for pointing out my mistakes. And an extra apology to him for my doubting him.<br />
<br />
Let’s try again. <br />
<br />
The books we’ll <strong><em>ACTUALLY</em></strong> be reading and discussing are:<br />
<br />
May: <strong><em>Seven of Infinities</em></strong> by Aliette de Bodard<br />
June: <strong><em>Leviathan Wakes</em></strong> by James S.A. Corey<br />
July: <strong><em>Children of Ruin</em></strong> by Adrian Tchaikovsky<br />
August: <strong><em>Seven of Infinities</em></strong> by Aliette de Bodard<br />
<br />
<Attachment.png><br />
<br />
I opted against weighing the data when I reran it, as somewhere in the data weighing process is where I tangled the data. <strong><em>Lowest value wins</em></strong> (Come to think of it, lowest value winning is the only chance I’d ever have of winning anything). <br />
<br />
This is what happens when you rush because of a deadline and don’t double check your work. <br />
<br />
I apologize again. (crossing his fingers that he didn’t make another mistake)</span></div>
