Do some number combinations have better odds?
No, but that is of no consequence to the team that watches over the threads here.
Truth is not a goal here.
I avoided the temptation to post here for over a year, with fairly good success. But more recently, I thought I'd give it another go. Based on the paucity of participation in this thread from anyone other than the same cast of characters who crusaded against my efforts in 2010-11, I think my decision was ill advised.
Anonymity on the Internet can awaken the best, and worst qualities in individuals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of the latter posting here. Personally, I try to post here truthfully. Thus, when I state that I stayed in three different Four Seasons hotels, or worked with early computers in the military, it's because I did. I will, and HAVE challenged claims that I believe defy the laws of probability, but when other members make claims about something in their lives which I have no way of verifying, it never occurs to me to challenge or rebuke them. People who do this willfully, under the cloak of anonymity, in my opinion, do not deserve applause, and definitely, not respect. But they get applause, even when they use ugly, crude, and abusive language. It's hard to know for sure how many unique humans are behind the many active personas here, the ones acting as Minders, or House Keepers, so to speak. So it's hard to know how big of a group to expect if one were to stumble upon their annual summer Picnic In The Pine Barrens some day.
In the meantime, I hope a few of the quiet readers here have the curiosity necessary to learn more about how the world of probability works by taking the recommendation here.
