In the ARRL 160 Meter Contest results listing and scores database, 
P40TA (K6TA, opr) is shown as:
   P40TA  124,960 - 739 - 88 - C
With a maximum of 80 Sections available, the listed 88 is clearly wrong.
In addition, his claimed score included only 76 Sections, so even a typo
of "78" is unlikely!
I notice that none of the non-W/VE scores seem to be calculated 
correctly. Each QSO by a non-W/VE station is worth 2 points, and
so the # QSOs and # mults should be directly usable to calculate 
the published score. The numbers don't agree.
   ZF2NT  150,176  993  76   [(993x2) x 76 = 150,936]
   FM5GU 121,804  837  74  [(837x2) x 74 = 123,876]
   ZF2AH    77,088  548  73  [(548x2) x 73 =   80,008]
   etc.
What am I missing? Do computers not multiply correctly anymore?
73,
