A new twist to bringing a title up to date

I just received a journal that says "v. 46/47 issue 1" and then there is a 2 page editor's note about how he hopes all of the subscribers support this decision...

The issue is less than 100 pages long and the journal is usually a quarterly, but they would like us to accept one issue instead of 5?

Very creative thinking. Especially since this is a higher math journal that deals with complex equations. I guess in their world 1+1 does not equal 2. They must have some unknown variable in there that changes the addition....magically.

So, I think it should be reclassified as a "magic" journal instead of a "math" journal. :)
