Hinkelman, who has won two of the last three titles in one of the country’s most highly regarded contests, does not have a perfect answer for how he has been able to do it, but he is happy to offer his gut take on it all.

He cautioned with modesty: “That’s just my theory. I have no proof.”

Numbers! Indeed.
