Suppose Mickelson wins and Woods comes second
With the way the points are set up Phil loses the Fedex Cup
Phil points: 108613 Phil wins @ Tour Championship: 10300. Total: 118913
Tiger points: 112733 Tiger 2nd @ TC: 6200. Total: 118933 Tiger wins FC
But if the points were properly rounded(*) Phil wins the Fedex Cup
Phil points: 108613 Phil wins @ TC: 10350*. Total: 118963 Phil wins FC
Tiger points 112733 Tiger 2nd @ TC: 6210*. Total: 118943
* The points for the first 3 Playoffs were upped by 15% for the Tour Championship
9000 Playoff win + 15% = 10350. But 10300 FC Points awarded
5400 Playoff 2nd + 15% = 6210. But 6200 FC Points awarded
This represents a swing of 40 points away from the first bonus prize of $10M
A huge deal for a rounding error

Brian,
I wish to apologise for not having responded to your comment "First image has typo — 29 29 should be 29 39 Regards" on post "Area Magic Squares of Order-4" dated 18 August 2017! It somehow got sidelined in the spam box, and when I noticed and tried to reply a couple of days ago it seemed my response was never sent (did not appear under your comment). Blogger is quite difficult to handle sometimes!
Well, I wanted to let you know that I have now corrected the image, and I wish to thank you for pointing out the typo.
Wishing you much success with your blog,
Regards
William
