Bonus Census entry

Recently while staying in Sydney, on 6 September 2006, the people we were
staying with were subject to a quality assurance check on their census entry
and as a result we got included in the census in 2 places - our own entry on
8 August and the QA one on 6 September 2006. What a bonus for my
descendants.

I thought the fellow said it was a QA exercise and tried to look it up on

Do people in the U.S. remember the big flap about the
Census Bureau adjusting the counts for the 2000 census?
There were the nut cases here who believed that the
numbers shouldn't be adjust under any circumstance
whatever -- a count is a count, is a count,...

One of the almancs I have gives the population of China
to 10 decimal places. I've wondered for which nanosecond
point in time this number was produced.

Anyone out there working on the census who can tell me what it was about?

We were very busy socialising and drinking and didnt pay much attention to
what he was doing, my girlfriend had to re-answer a lot of the questions and
so did we.

Several glasses of champagne had been consumed and we really didnt pay all
that much attention - the poor fellow had to cope with us laughing and
joking and having a generally good time while he filled out his paperwork.

It had been pre-arranged and was bona fide - they had just forgotten about
it when we got there.
