Can you do that please? It really did seem like there were fewer duplicate letters than normal.
I just checked. There were 3 more cases of duplicates in the CoC than in the last 15 heats of S73.

That means duplicates within each stack as opposed to what ended up coming out.

I looked at the first 4 games and there wasn't a single duplicate. Please show your workings. Also, if it wasn't in S73, when did this 'lack of duplicates' start, because it was really noticeable in the CoC, and I'm positive it hasn't "always been like this" - there's definitely less duplicates now than there used to be... isn't there?

If I had the time and energy I'd go through and do all the series to find when the decline in dupes started and where.. but no, there were actually more dupes than normal, so your intuition was completely wrong.

Not a single duplicated consonant in the CoC though. Not one.

Edit: Also, fuck off

And just 1 in the previous 15 games. So, pretty much just like normal mate! It's ok, everyone's wrong sometimes.

Exactly, and 1 is the very opposite of NOT 1.

I don't think that's how probability works.

It's how bitwise operations work though.

You can tell COLIN is coming up. There's always something about the posts on the forum at this time of the year.
