and for every contestant/duelant, his highest and his lowest rating are excluded for his overall score, while the others still have the same weight each.
which means: for every single contestant, sorry. On Yuri's level the sorted scores are: 16, 16.25, 16.5, 17. So the 16 goes out, as it's his lowest score, and the 17 goes out as it's his highest score. This means in this case, everyone would have two scores being valid, and the table would look like this:

Like I've said several times, these numbers only have few significance as the additional judges are missing. Yeah, you can see that not much is changing, but Triple J and Harmless switching positions happens for a reason. In most cases, all scores are within a short intervall, and in this case there is quite no changing, which is good. But when the intervall is distorted, changes get larger, and it helps to make the table and the scores look more smoothly. I'm tempted to say it this time: A level can't be good and bad at once - if there's a huge gap, it's one or even more judges to have blundered, and either the other judges are right, or the truth lies in between. And there is a kind of approximate truth. Making mistakes at judging is gonna happen to everyone at a time, no one needs to be ashamed of it, and once a judge finds out to have a dubious score, he's probably even assuaged if it doesn't get counted.
