I would think Mr. Proctor would be upset at using the "th" suffix on the
number 1. :^)  It *used* to be bad style.  Besides, this would make next 
year's the 2th (pronounced tooth?) contest.  This could get very 
confusing. :^O

Your reasoning decays at the number 4, where it's the 4th contest 
irrespective of your counting system, even if it's the fifth time the 
contest has been held.  Ya gotta love it.
