It’s a day for congratulations and commiserations. Hooray! say the manufacturers of those amusing baseball caps that tell you to “Mind the gap.” Boo! says anyone who’s ever dreamt of being able to afford to live within two hours’ commuting distance of the Smoke. London, we simply salute you, and give you 796.48 Olympic games. But remember, dear classifier, whatever you do: It’s just the one number for all the games! Don’t add subdivisions for geographic treatment of specific games! Arrange works on specific games chronologically! Otherwise we’ll have to send Lord Coe round to give you a piece of his mind. And trying to run away won’t be your best option.
