99,8%. Po desetih mesecih in osemnajstih dneh od roka za oddajo prijav še vedno nismo prišli do rezultatov.
Lotil sem se izračunati, koliko projektov morajo na ARIS še oceniti in sem potem za hec izračun preveril še z UI. Ugotovil sem, da ji osnovna matematika še vedno dela probleme.

PS: Odgovor je: 13. Oceniti morajo še 13 projektov, tako da tja do konca novembra pa verjetno res bo.
