Just a curious comment. Mark notes at the end:
"Thanks to all
those who gave us directions to various species. We may not have been
able to use them at the time but there were one or two other not quite so
serious teams in the race who did (we forgot we were using an open chat line ?.
Oooppps!)."
I could be wrong but that suggests to me that Mark
is regretting the possibility that other teams may have been in a position to
get more species due to information offered to his team. I assume Mark's team
and the other teams are each using it as a fund raiser for birds. Am I
missing something? Is it the case with the more species each team
finds, the more funds come in? Then isn't it best if each team's total is
as high as reasonably possible. Therefore I would have thought it is best
if such information is shared. As in what is the benefit (for the birds) of
other teams getting a lower score?
