R. J. Dickens, Stuart Malin, 2024. Horological Journal, April 2024, 140–145.
Least-squares re-analysis of the same hole data by two retired Royal Greenwich Observatory astronomers; criticises the 2020 statistics (triplet overcounting), finds N = 352.3 plus or minus 1.5, puts 365 below one chance in ten thousand and supports a count near 354.
What it's used for here
Independent second analysis of the hole count.
