04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

    UN IGME publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.

    A higher value is the worse result.

  • Nothing missing
