Results and statistics 2000

Remark

Unfortunately on October 14th, 2000 the portable PC that was doing the logging broke. Since that PC was quite old, no replacement parts were found and the log ends on that date. Only the counter of the circuit still works, and until the end of the year 93 extra strikes were detected but not logged.
