Cluster Counting Revisited

I highly recommend Cluster Counting. It's quick and easy to learn and use, the math is simple, and, maybe most important, it takes just a couple of minutes to "get back into shape" after a long layoff.

The first seven clusters below are from Jack Kissane's Cluster Counting article. Those, and a few simple shortcuts explained in the article, are all you need. As I started using the system, I began to spot other clusters that are easy to count. Some are just variations on Jack's, but they come up so often I just added them to my "vocabulary."
