This is my take on the CN numbering system. Now just remember that I am very new (and only 18) to this and what I say are my own personal deductions, which of course could be way off from the truth, but anyways here it goes.
Now when we look at the numbering system, how they assign case numbers, 2009 is really different from all the preceding years. Let’s look at Asia for example, for 2008 and 2009 the number of NL’s sent out were constant at about 14k. Now the crucial difference is that the highest CN reported was ~ 18k for 08(we can also doubt this figure since this from what I’ve read on the internet) and for 2009, it was ~ 42k (I saw this with my very own eyes).
So now we search for some explanations. For 2008, the numbers were separate for different regions. Now I know when you add these numbers up, they exceed 100k
But only because there were gaps within regional numbers- This might explain for example why the highest CN in Asia was 18k (14 k CN’s with some gaps in between).
This is the only deduction that I could come up with (Suggestions are of course, always welcome – No matter how harsh). The same applies for EU and AF too.
Now in 09, the number of CN’s for Asia remains the same but somehow strangely enough the CN’s have seen an upward shift.
There could only be 2 explanations for this. Either that the gaps have increased – meaning that the 14k CN’s for AS have many gaps between them. Or, we can come to another conclusion – that the KCC folks somehow mixed the numbers up for all regions without gaps. (Someone named payam_pyz had suggested this earlier).
Now we can all put our heads together to beat the system. Every one please put in your suggestions, so that we can come to some kind of consensus. The Irish guy’s comments would especially be welcome.
