I think of it as the "2662 crisis", or the "Points crisis", because the issue was over whether proposal 2662, abolishing Points (for the first time), had passed. I only used the term "Quantum" for the imagery of the quantum wave function being progressively collapsed to a single state.

I looked at only the identites of certain critical Officers, plus the Scorekeepor out of sheer curiosity. Not all offices, and not only the ones we really needed. As I recall, there were fourteen possible sets of officer identities that I ended up with. That was from regarding scores and proposal results as totally unknown; it wouldn't have taken a huge amount more work to narrow it down further. The sets of possible holders for each individual office were much smaller. (I don't have a copy of my report on that research, though I have clear memories of the lengthy session with Vanyel's archive as it then was. I have an RCS record of the "quantum report"s that I produced semi-regularly.) Anyway, glad to have become a model of how to resolve a crisis. Rigour R us, and all that. -zefram
