The UDH transforms slowly but steadily into what it's about: A hoshitori that
is upside down. Why, you may ask? The average went up again a bit and is now
at 29.17 points and 9.11 losses -- after a trice-checking whether there might
be a bug my result sheet :-) Not less than 72 players scored 30 or more.

Having such a high average, a perfect day mustn't miss. And -- is doesn't.
Marionoumi "did the 39" and moves up twenty places. Another five can save 38
points. It is the first time that two players have a perfect day in one basho.
And also the first time that these two days are in a row. With the strong
performances of the the Yokozuna, Ozeki and Sekiwake there might be even space
for more.

Misisko took over the overall lead after coming so close to the yusho and
jun-yusho spots yesterday. Hoshifransu, Furanohana and Areyama don't switch
places but go down together one position.
