Tami, please correct this summation:


- Starting from the POV of a given year (2012 in your example), the user
can pick that year and up to 3 other years;
- You first want the number -- 'theMultiples'-- of people who have
attended all of the checked (I'm assuming a checkbox, but that may not be
right) years;
- Then you want to divide 'theMultiples' by the total number of attendees
for the given year. Let's call that number 'theAttendees';
- So you want theMultiples/theAttendees;
- The TYPE isn't a factor.

Is that correct?
