Read before you use

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

The site’s method

  • The position is ours

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

  • Which end is better

    A higher value is the worse result.

  • 36 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
