I totally agree with Tito that Moose should be promoted to ozeki if he
gets another 11-4 or 12-3. 

Well, the above report of an oyakata raises some questions of mine.
What if a sekitori at M4 gets the yusho one basho and gets another yusho
the next basho. Would he be promoted to a yokozuna? Tho following are
possible answers that I have come up with:

   1. Yes. He will be promoted to yokozuna.
   2. No, because he would have been promoted to sekiwake the next basho
      and the second yusho counts the "first" yusho at sanyaku.
   3. None of the above.

Well, here is another question if the guy doesn't get to be a yokozuna. 
What if the guy gets another yusho (3 consecutive yushos)?
