Whops!

Yes you are right.

OK so my figures were wrong the number of hits should be reduced
by 1 for everything.

So I did some calculations and it looks like I calculated to %
increase incorrectly the first time, but with my revised figures the %
are correct.

Jonath Active 20% more attacks
Anthem Activem 15% more attacks
Both Active 25% more attacks

I hope this is slighly less clear than mud.
Look I have had a hard weekend and have been up since 5am, I am
having problems remembering my name right now.

This is all based on a small sample. There is much potential for
error.

It would be good for somebody else to test this, if anybody cares.
