Oops. I added the annotation in the wrong place when scoring that
question, and my script to add and report the scores didn't detect
that error. Fixed: it does now.
 
Anyway, the error only affected the reporting on that question: it was
reporting first the entrants who got 4, then the ones who got 3, and
so on, but this process completely missed the ones who got 4_(THW).
However, when adding the scores, 4_(THW) was treated as a 4.
 
So the answers line should have read:
 
Ampere, candela, mole. 4 for Dan Tilque, Peter (the hard way),
Bruce (the hard way), Marc, Erland, Björn, and Stephen.
 
but the table of scores already posted was correct.
 
Thanks for calling my attention to it.
