Info:The very first edition was held in 1925, the 2nd in 1932, and the 3rd in 1933 (these were actually Sports games only). On the basis of this information, I decided to regard the 1977 event as the 1st edition of a new series. In 2007 the Games had to be cancelled at short notice.
Calculation:In principle, the number of the most recent edition is based, purely arithmetically, on the year of its first edition, i.e.: (a [= year of the most recent edition] minus b [= year of its first edition]) plus 1 = c [= number of the most recent edition], assuming that the event has been held annually from the start, and that there has never been a gap in the continuation.
NB: A first anniversary = by definition the 2nd edition. [NB²: According to this, and taking the cancellation of the 2007 event into account, the event held in 2019 would have been the 42nd edition].
