Also, even if they get to 5 here, they haven't necessarily found the Higgs. What they have found is basically a bump in the graph of number of interactions (y axis) versus energy of collision (x axis) that they can't account for with known particles.
This is hard because there are all sorts of different interactions that can happen and they all happen with different probabilities at different energies... The stats are a nightmare.
