The problem was that I'm new to OO programming and didn't consider that my time variable was out of scope of the casecount() function, so it wasn't updating everytime the function was re-running. Since none of the other data was changing, it was hard to spot (but in retrospect, that should have made it easier to spot). Regardless, thanks for the help!
