It is getting much worse. The PIN to report the results is on the caucus math worksheet: https://mobile.twitter.com/wycats/status/1224558210222186496 https://mobile.twitter.com/wycats/status/1224558210222186496 , and many people are posting pictures of these worksheets. In one case, the person posting picture is Ben Halle, the Iowa Comms director for Pete Buttigieg: https://mobile.twitter.com/bhalle87/status/1224550111725916160 https://mobile.twitter.com/bhalle87/status/12245501117259161...

The PIN is clearly visible in the top right corner of the pic posts as a reply to that.

  Yes, the picture in the reply is of a Caucus Math worksheet, and this is not the only picture on Twitter of such a sheet.

Is the math on that sheet even correct? E.g., rounding 3.47826 to 4, when the directions seem to indicate that it should round to 3? Edit: So, if you believe a Medium post with lots of animated GIFs[1], in the case that the total is short, the extra delegate is awarded to the closest to round up. So, given that additional rule, the math checks out, but it's oddly not stated on the worksheet. The multiplication at the top, likewise, is incorrect. Again, wrong inputs (the total present seems to be 69, not 70); the answer is right given corrected inputs. The votes? at the bottom also appear to have had someone vote twice. Not clear which candidate got the extra, but I don't think it matters.

  They just had a discussion about that on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/hasanabi https://www.twitch.tv/hasanabi : something about a coin toss.

    Now that I've got a better source, while it looks like there are some cases for a coin-toss, I don't think that's the case here. (Though I did hear that one happened, so perhaps it's in a different location?)
