Another thing that seems suboptimal is that by your distribution, there should be at least nine lit questions in that packet (given that one of the 4.5 tossups and 4.5 bonuses should be rounded up.) You have (by your count) 8, but I argue that that's actually seven, because one of the lit questions is "popular genres". Earlier, you guys were claiming that trash lit is counted as trash and just happens to be edited by the lit editor, but in this case, it seems like you're counting it as lit (and failing to meet your stated distribution anyway.) I submit to you that in the NAQT packets I've seen (which include most of the ICTs, this year's and last year's SCT, and most of the recent IS sets) this problem is widespread.bt_green_warbler wrote:One thing that seems suboptimal here is that two of the four literature tossups in this packet are at 21 and 26. I'll ask R. what kind of fixes might be available for things like this.
EDIT: I forgot that you dudes count myth as literature. So that's 5/4, but only if you count trash lit as lit, which (I think) you claim that you don't.
