Thank you for the consideration KTHR. Actually I was thinking of it, too. While I like your idea, I'm more inclined to verify the existence of the "level modifier" by using a "high FS, high Total", (which we've done on EXPD 21), versus a "low FS, low Total", which we'll be doing. As you mentioned, the problem is that we could hardly sustain the min requirements. However, just by comparing with the test condition for EXPD 21, we may find:

-

[ EXPD 21, min drum no sparkling ]

FS:   50+

TOTAL    280+

We have done this with 200 + 200 runs.

I was trying to design the comparison test with the following:

-

[ EXPD 21, min drum no sparkling ]

'''FS:   20 ~ 25... ?'''

'''TOTAL    40 ~ 60... ? '''

---

Yep the factors are not firmly controlled, but the level differences between the two tests are pretty large. If we find no difference in GS rate then we're done. Even if we find much lower GS rate, we may conduct another test with the same FS level but much higher Total level.

But anyway these are just my consideration and I'm willing to help either way (#21 or #37). Please let me know your final decision (#EXPD,  FS.Lv, Total.Lv, #Sample) so I may start collecting data.
