I think the part that a lot of people miss is that an upgrade from 37 Markers to 67
Markers is just that -- an upgrade. It means 30 new Markers are added to the original 37
Markers. It's not an entirely new set of 67 Markers.
37 + 30 = 67
If the original 37 Markers don't give a match the first time around, they are still
not going to match in the future, no matter how many additional Markers are tested.
