Once in a great while, my program gets fooled (badly) by a very special set of circumstances. It's so rare, that I just chart them by hand to see what's happened. So, for whatever reason, today was the day for this to happen in the Virginia workup. Since I had to track down what happened, I thought I would post up the chart so you folks can see it, too. I think maybe this workup is the answer to HugeBens erstwhile question, "What the hell do the numbers from 1996 have to do with now?" Maybe not... Anyway, here is the chart of the exact setup that freaked out my software BIG TIME.

You see what happened? That Day/Night repeat of 171 combined with the perfect alignment of four numbers; 989 574, 137, and 879 caused my program to start screaming like one of those howlers from the Harry Potter movies. It's actually kind of a cool chart, but not worth wagering the rent money on or anything.
Cheers!!!
