Glitches on Bonus Week Trades

....I think II may be having some problems with formulas because of the new two tier quality ratings. Very often a simple change to a complex system can have some unusual and unexpected results and I even recall one episode in a business where the result was inexplicable.

It makes sense that II's new tier system may be causing glitches.

I've mentioned how buggy II's online system to my husband who, despite his physical resemblance to a Neanderthal (see the Neanderthal thread), is a very accomplished computer programmer and brilliant all-around engineer. His theory is that II's trade system is probably a complete kludge, with additions being made to it over the years and no one really knowing anymore how it works. He thinks II probably finds it too daunting and expensive to just throw it out and start from scratch. When you get patched-together systems like that, even a small change can cause all sorts of inconsistent results.
