Quite right. I started by thinking of advantageous routings (like lax-mia-lhr) that would enable one to make EXP with 5 round trips, then made an unwarranted mental leap to the non-stop for the number of days required. The advantageous routings cannot be completed round-trip in 24 hours. To do the non-stop would get one EXP on the outbound of the 7th trip.
