Ah. I do the averaging thing too, as I agree with the rationale.
It was not clear to me that the reading of 51 was just one of the three points measured - I thought it was the average. I find it curious that the single reading of 51 was not on the knife that was the sharpest, on average, and not the winner. Given how high the other two readings were on that knife, I'd almost consider the 51 an errant reading and I would have checked it a couple more times, trying to avoid the previous test spots. I have not looked at the rules, so do not know how they treat this sort of thing.
