First a bit about multimeters. They can't usually display an infinity 
sign, so for infinite resistance (open circuit) they usually display 
[-1    ] or in your case [1  .  ]  Second, when you get a small reading 
like .8K and you are on a range of 200K, you will get a more meaningful 
reading if you turn down the range, say to 2K so that your reading would 
be .826K. If you turn too far, to 200ohms, you would then get the 
infinity/out of range indication. What I see from the written sheet is 
that between the three possible pairs you got one open circuit, 0.8K 
(800 ohms) and a 0 which on the 200k setting means less than 100 ohms.

There is something funny going on, as you should be getting O/C for two 
of the pairs. Can you remeasure but on each pair, start with the meter 
on 200K then reduce it as far as you can and get a non-zero reading.
