Dave had been bashing away at his computer for months in a desperate attempt to have a very important paper all done and dusted in time to go to press.
That's right, this would be published, Dave's name would be in print.
Now approaching the final week, when all the results should be well and truely in and only a quick write up should be required, Dave gave his program a final once over check.
'... oh no...'
There were advantages and disadvantages to the copy/paste method of repeating something 1000 times. The obvious advantage was it was unbelievably quicker than writing it all out each time.
The disadvantage being one tiny, crucial, mistake in the first one would become 1000 tiny, crucial mistakes and the whole set of results would be useless.
'....that should be "i-1" not just "i"....'
Damn.

oups.. Good Luck!! Bon courage!
hope you were able to sort it out...
Wouldn't it be easier to rewrite reality so you had the correct figure in the first place?
