31. Something I don't understand about the math--

Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 01:47 PM by ginnyinWI

Obama's got 1740 delegates and Hillary's got 1600. Add those to the remaining available delegates, 285 and you get a grand total of 3,625. Half of that number is 1,812.5 Subtract Obama's delegates from that number and you get 72. So why does it say he needs 134 to have the majority of delegates? Something is missing somewhere, or I'm missing it.
