Agh? I presume they failed.
That wasn't my point, just couldn't resist.

My point was to agree with Roderick's couch potato method, but also to add that I think the same can be done with written stories. I find it is suprisingly easy to decide whether a written scene is "just" narrative, a simple contest or an extended contest. Try it on an RE Howard short story.
