If the metric is actually as you interpret it, then it is possible to have a remarriage rate greater than 100%.

These are but two aspects of why your metric sucks.

Are you going to move the target yet again?

It says "number of remarrying males ... registered [in the year]" - implying a count for each registration. It's clearer in the definition from the poplib site (and also if you open up the NSO csv file).

So your metric allows a remarriage rate of over 100%.

Are you really tall? I bet you're younger than the good doctor.

no1marauder is probably a great deal older than I am - it doesn't stop him behaving like a spoilt eight-year old.

Heck, even howardgee might be older than I am.
