Statistics
Recently, publicly announced box numbers have contradicted each other. We are using our own stats and will correct if necessary. Not all box cases are reported publicly. Occasionally, when SHBB Inc announces a case, it skips a number with no explanation. See Discrepancies./Unknown page for more information.
