[NSRCA-discussion] Unknowns

[jonlowe at aol.com]

Jim,

The unknowns are computer generated, and checked by a human for sanity.  Bob had worked out 4 unknowns before hand, only known to him. Two were drawn from a hat the night before they were to be  flown, and were handed out as darkness fell.


I don't know how many he generated to get those four, but I heard last year 15 or so were gone thru prior to the two being selected.

Hi Don - looking forward to seeing you again, perhaps next year's Nats.  What is the practice for the determining the Unknowns now?  Are these sequence put together day-of, or are the complete sequences worked out ahead of time?  The aresti format is a nice addition.



Thanks,

Jim W.

I was just updating my website and checked a couple of links.  There is links to the unknowns flown in 2006 and those flown in 2014 on the contest results page in the NATS history.  Interesting to see the difference in difficulty.  Select the results for the year and the link is at the top next to the year.

 

Don
