Yes.  Place an asterisk(*) after the number of bursts if the 2nd burst 
exceeded 75 seconds in duration.  Place a pound sign(#) after that number if 
the 3rd burst exceeded 75 seconds.  There was one unusual instance when 
gazers were pressed to come up with a symbol if the 4th burst exceeded 75 
seconds--but I cannot remember what it was.  (Dave Goldberg could answer 
this.)

Another variation is adding a +1 to the number of bursts if there was an 
afterburst (or +2, if there were two afterbursts).  And afterbursts are not 
the same thing as the afterplay splashing that happens after every eruption.
