Cold Case (S05E08) 11/11/2007 "It Takes a Village"

[Jonathan_S]

Not too much to say on this episode.
Except that if you have a plot point that all the storage unit numbers add up to 17, shouldn't they all actually add up to 17?

The 4 numbers up on the board were
1925
926 (order?)
73
484

Half of those don't add up to 17. But they kept showing flashes of that board and talking about how it was important that everything added up to 17.


Anyway, micro-rant over.

The math consultants from Numb3rs were on a break?

I paused and looked pretty closely and I didn't see the trailing 7 in 737 or 1 in 4841. (I suppose I could have missed them somehow, but I did take a 2nd look because I didn't think the numbers in the right hand column added up to 17)

Oh well, never mind.

On one long scene with the board in view there was a post that was blocking the far right which hid the last digit of those two numbers (you can make out the tail of the lines of those digits just barely poking out from behind the post). But all the other scenes had them fully visible.
