"Total 2LL" increased by 176. 12 got factored so 188 DCs were completed.
"Total 1LL" increased by 222. 8 got factored so 230 + 188 = 418 1st time LLs were completed.
To check: "Status Unknown" decreased by 542 of which 124 were factored, leaving 418 first time LL completions.

Triple check: increase in "One LL" between 40M and a 70M is 418.

I know I'm right, but some guys take a bit of convincing.

@Chris. What rabbit are you pulling out of the hat to make routine TFto74 suddenly feasible?
Also, from what hours is "Change since yesterday" valid on your site?
I find reading small print difficult, but invisible ink nigh on impossible.
