<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7308047, member: 117420"]Went with 63 and no FS. On the good/interesting points from Razz, didn't/doesn't make sense to me either...the "count 4 and add 1," etc. thing someone mentioned. But what are we/they actually counting...? In fact and indeed what IS a step, or a step "line" to count...is it the recessed "lines" in-between that appear dark, or is it the raised "lines" of nickel color, if you know what I mean...? In this case, starting out on the left in these photos, I count 5 recessed/dark lines and 5 raised/nickel lines if you count the top raised "step" being the floor or foundation "step" that the columns rest on. There is what I'll call a small partial "step" visible starting on the very top-left, above the first full raised foundation step but it quickly blends in to that first top/raised step line. I did not count that...not sure what that was/is. To me, neither of the sets of "lines" as defined makes it all the way across unbroken. If you see a different count...or in your opinion they somehow do make it all the way unbroken...and/or you subscribe to the 4+1 or 5+1 theory...and you may, with any/all of these scenarios...THIS is what the experienced but still-fallible human beings of TPG 's must interpret daily, time and again...to different and inconsistent ends/results, one coin to another...and it's what's WRONG such subjectivity without more clear and concise definitions if we are to continue down this road. My op...and everybody has one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
