These are the 16 locatable predictions as Dr Shou
published them.

Normalized score is 2.84 NOTE: While this is less significant
than the full 50 it is still beyound the 99% level

These are the best 16 predictions from the table of
USGS registered predictions. They have been processed
with my program using the NEIC catalog as a database.

( 2.266 - (-.074) )/ 2.719
Normalized score is .861
-------------------------------------------------------
The point is that the answer depends heavily on the probability
as determined from the database. And the database influences
hits and misses as well.
