[WCA Regulations 2014] DNF for 1/2 multi BLD

[Mike Hughey]

Actually, someone who gets 2/4 or 3/6 etc. also did not finish multiple cubes.

I don't understand. They did finish multiple cubes. They simultaneously also failed to finish multiple (other) cubes, but that doesn't change the fact that they did in fact finish (certain) multiple cubes.

Hmm... the "not" referring to the "finish" rather than the "did"? I agree it can be read that way, but I'd say that's not the intended interpretation. Plus you'd have to call 98/100 a DNF and 1/2 a non-DNF (as they "didn't not finish multiple"... rather contrived). And I'm sure everybody would agree that 98/100 is better than 1/2.

Heh I was mostly just teasing with the ambiguity of your statement, given the emphasis you put on it

I appreciate you pointing it out, as I hate being ambiguous unintentionally
