Rewrite



I was preparing for the hockey pool and had to run my computer program that predicts who is going to win the Stanley Cup.  Then I got the stats to input into my program.  As I was running my program and checking the results I noticed that the format of the playoffs had changed from when I wrote the program.  Actually, they had changed the playoff format a couple of years ago and went back to a format like the old playoff system and I had originally written the program for.  I changed my program when they changed the format.  Now I had to change it back.  It wasn't that easy because I couldn't remember how the old program worked.  But then I thought how could I have won the hockey pool last year using a program based on the wrong format.
