Arnold, all,

I think that there is a flaw in this test or at least that the results 
should be divided into 2 categories:

1- results provided by interval experts that will spend some time 
re-arranging expressions for this particular case to get the "best" result

2- results provided by general purpose interval software (the one that 
the end-user will use because they don't have the knowledge to do 
otherwise). In that case the data should be provided "as it" because the 
system and bound may be the result of some other calculation and are not 
known in advance.

Best
