# I worked for the cencus project back in 2001...
OCR was quite good, but it could only recognise words it was expecting, so i spent three months typing in 'jedi' because the systems wouldnt recognise the word.
First 4 weeks was great we just ignored it when it was flagged up, then some git decided to pay for the information on how many Jedi's there where, considering it was for gathering information it was very 'relaxed' in it's data collection...
I had to sign the offical secrets act to work there, so i'm probably going to jail now for talking about it.... Was strange to see FORMS guarded by MI5 agents with machine guns though...
