I stand by the theory of a permanently inoperative bottom left light socket. I find it supported by an analysis if the banner patterns and matching of clearer pics. To say the unlit bottom left position defied early light replacement efforts, to later be successfully lighted, to then immediately fail for the rest of the samples is a less credible scenario.
Using my theory of a single defective bottom left banner light socket, I’ve played out some possible banner sequences using the 6 light diagram dates we have so far. Keeping our UK Baker’s admonition re human nature in mind (I did not discount you UK Baker.) I was looking for the absolute LEAST number of bulb replacement events necessary to carry each sequence along.
(As a note: Let’s be quite honest. The MOAR bulb replacement events, the less chance of ever narrowing a date for the Q pic. Every day? Forget it. Every couple of days? Forget it. Every week? Forget it.
IF WE ARE TO RESET TO A PERFECTLY LIGHTED BANNER EACH TIME WITHOUT THE DEFECTIVE BOTTOM BULB WOULD IMPLY A NEW BULB REPLACEMENT AND IMPLY A BLANK (PERFECT) “RESTING” POSITION.
ADMITTING A THEORY OF PERFECT REPLACEMENT BETWEEN WHAT WE SEE OF UNLIT BULBS, WHY THR SAME BOTTOM LEFT BULB BREAKING DOWN DAY AFTER DAY AFTER IT WAS FIXED? THIS WOULD IMPLY MANY REPLACEMENTS.
Even a one-time perfect banner places it betwixt two known banners with a bottom left bulb unlit. And darn that bulb that burns out a day or two right after you fixed it! (Note: I also resolved a situation in which, if you had repaired two other unlit bulbs from NOV, why would you not have replaced the left side bulb when later banners would prove this was possible? I fixed this illogical situation by placing D19 exactly where it should have been, after D17. It would simply make more sense for that bulb position to fail again about 25 days later.)
Want to see a sequence that, so far, requires only 2 BULB REPLACEMENTS to get from one end to the other? Kinda like those logic tests where you connect the dots using only 3 lines or something?
N24
N25
(bulbs replaced)
D15
Q
(bulbs replaced)
D17
D19
See how the dates even agree. It flows.
In 2 other sequences, when I tried to put D19 under the NOV dates or when I tried to put the Q diagram last, it required THREE bulb replacements.
Here they are:
Scenario A:
N24, N25, (replacement), D15, D17, (replacement), D19, (replacement), Q.
Scenario B:
N24, N25, (replacement), D19, (replacement), D15, Q, (replacement) D17
Sorry for the caps but I needed to say moar there and too lazy to go back and change it.
My best suggestion for other anons is to use a good old fashioned note pad, Make vertical flow diagrams using the banner light diagrams.
