Have been through again File:Marks for ATH 2017 OWLs.xlsx and been more stringent so marked in grey definite 'no points', and marked in yellow 'we should really get this point'. Hope that makes sense - grateful for any help with this! Suggested email to them:

I'll email you all to come and take a look. Please could you let me know if the comments etc. I've made here are fair? File:Marks for ATH 2017 OWLs.xlsx Should I be less whingy? Change anything? Please let me know! I think as a minimum we should get 370/469 which is 79% so really excellent! I am quite miffed about some of the marking scheme's weightings and points for arbitrary things but not others, but oh well!!

Waiting impatiently for the solution!! They have updated the main site to show that the title *was* Another Fine Mess (yay!) and the themes: 'Mess, Messy, Messier'. Since Mark W had said there were no points for guessing the title, I guess we won't lose points for not stating those themes, either. Wondering now though if I should have done a summary of all the themes!! Ah well. --JoC (talk) 12:35, 16 January 2018 (GMT)
- There is more there to have got than I thought there would be, but there is a huge amount we DID get! I think we'll be in the top 12... ?! Who wants to mark with me - it would be good it at least two of us have a go and compare what we think. Now I have to go back to work, having barely been able to look at the solution! xxx --JoC (talk) 12:56, 16 January 2018 (GMT)
