Just a minute Rev. Charlie... :-)    

Why "worst possible condition"? 

Do you know how often the Project-Or-View was used???  

The worst position for the film to be is at the light beam's path.  Off
path, it would be like just being in a sunny room (but off direct sun, 
I would expect), and only for a few hours (which is about as lot as I 
expect the projector to have been used).  The rest of the time it was 
stored in a dark place.

PS.  Nice try though... :-)
