However, graphing the flashes using Leo's period and Synodic.exe I spotted three intervals a little shorter than 5*2.034 s (flashes 0-2, 7-8, 17-19) and many showing the same slope, but at different intervals. Despite an arithmetic error that made my guess 9.17 s, a plot of this period immediately revealed a good pattern at about 9.95 s (0-2, 2-4, 4-5, 5-6, 11-13, 13-15, 15-17) The last three intervals are displaced by +1/3 period. There is an indication of flashes no. 3,7,9,14,18 being around +2/3 period displacement. Flashes 8,12,16 show an interval of twice the assumed period (19.9s). This leaves only flash no. 1, which could be a precursor of 11...17, and flash no. 10.
