There must be a few WUs getting lost out there. You know how each unit is sent out with a _0, _1 and a _2 suffix so that each unit is calculated three times and cross-checked? Recently I've noticed a few _3's and _4's and today I got a _5. Obviously a few results are being lost or not returned. My understanding is that, if all three 'units' haven't been returned by the expiry date they send out however many other copies are needed to get the three results. A _5 must mean that all of the original three units were lost. Just thought I'd mention it. Anyone seen one higher than _5? Just curious. --
I've had _7 once.
