Meadmaker 2003-11-25 03:28:18 | ....but I can't find an answer. Can anyone please tell me why certain simulations go through "quarantine" and get re-run 5 times before they are added to the results? I have had many of these, and everyone has always passed quarantine - if this was important, I would have expected at least some of them to fail. TIA, Meadmaker the idjit. |

If the simulation comes up with a design that appears to score higher than any in your results.dat file previously, it "quarantines" it for a further 4 runs and records only an average of the scores it gets (as they vary slightly). This is to prevent a design from scoring too highly by chance. HB Pencils, also sold as "Moron's Choice" Graphite Cigars. |
