SCC only n = 1

MM only n = 48 (40 MM, 8 LM/MIS)

SCC + PM n = 10 (AK 9, BD + AK 1)

BCC + PM n = 102 (AK 99, BD + AK 3)

MM + PM n = 21 (MM 16, LM/MIS 5, AK 20, BD + AK 1)

MM + BCC n = 9 (MM 9, LM/MIS 0)

MM + SCC + PM n = 4 (MM 4, LM/MIS 0)

MM + BCC + PM n = 15 (MM 14, LM/MIS 1)

BCC + SCC + PM n = 17 (AK 15, BD + AK 2)
