The modern abacus
Hmm...I build a spreadsheet to tabulate all of our Kraken numbers but something isn’t adding up.
I have 89 cards that are 1 pointers I have 32 cards that are toughies, as listed in post #1 But my excel sheet only makes these add to 244, not the coveted 250. I looked twice , maybe three times but it’s after midnight here...anyone care to check the math again? To that point, I might have missed something but I have this electronic abacus file available to share so you can easily calculate your own Kraken number, just by clicking either “have” or “need”. There’s even a pie chart and some math formulae to help determine how close you are to the set, and the percentage of common (one pointers) versus “toughies”. Let me know if you’d like the sheet... of course it needs to be fine tuned since my dreary eyes only see 244 points!

The concrete has been jackhammered and a new layer applied
Ouch. Tony and Brian (not me) are correct. I should stop messing with new math and just figure out things the old fashioned way, utilizing a series of fingers and toes. I checked my abacus and some of the little discs have chunks missing from them, which I assume affects performance as well.
Dammit I didn't want to make another change, but my poor mathematics and that mystical 250 Kraken # requires it. There are three cards that were on the bubble to be elevated from 1 point status to 3 point status. If I had added up correctly before they would have been included. They are: Bemis - now 3 points instead of 1 O'Connor - now 3 points instead of 1 Seigle - now 3 points instead of 1 I regrettably need to revise (and set in concrete, and then put some sort of concrete shellacking material over top, if such a product exists) the point tallies to reflect this. The complete set should come to 250 points (please double-check me!) and anyone who sees their name on the Kraken list with a 'subject to change' needs to re-figure their official set number. My apologies, Brian (the less accurate one) Last edited by brianp-beme; 12-02-2017 at 11:56 AM. Reason: My apologies
