Is it to be assummed that part of the task requirments are to list a certain number of the top ranked Rosetta Code languages? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 00:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 
==incorrect sample==
 
The sample output (as part of the task description) is incorrect (as of March 31<sup>st</sup>, 2013).
<br>It shows that the 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup> entries as having the same number of entries (i.e., are tied), but one is ranked 6<sup>th</sup>, the other is ranked 7<sup>th</sup>. &nbsp; There shouldn't be a 7<sup>th</sup> (place) entry, instead there should be two 6<sup>th</sup> place entries, and both should be marked as ''tied'' or somesuch indicator.
<br><br>Similarly, all but one of the examples from the various languages are also incorrect in this regard.
<br><br>This is exactly like a race, where there're two (tied) 1<sup>st</sup>-place winners (gold), and no 2<sup>nd</sup>-place winner (silver). &nbsp; First place is shared. Next to cross the finish line is 3<sup>rd</sup> place (bronze).
