A thought experiment: the "results"

Yesterday, I asked how much of the history and
literature distributions should cover the 20th
century.

For comparison, this is what teams _submitted_ for
Penn Bowl 11 (X/Y = # of TUs, # of boni [which can be
fractional]):

HISTORY
Pre-1800: 61/57 (42%)
1800s: 41/39.7 (29%)
20th
century: 40/38 (28%)

LITERATURE
Pre-1800: 28/32
(21%)
1800s: 36/22.5 (21%)
20th century: 75/85.2
(56%)

[For the record: I classified Qs on specific works by
the year they were written/published; Qs on authors
by the time period in which they were most
productive (so Mark Twain, for example, would be 19th
century).]
