Yep, that's the best part of scientific method. Moreover, it keeps the mind fit and running.
Neko, have you tried to perform the analysis on The Big Planes Race? You have a nice Great Sample of 6.
Besides, what do you do with samples for which abs(z)>3? Drop them like any sensible scientist/sociologist/economist as spurious?
I just run the race once, after I proposed that. Here's the result:
Pos. Plane Pixels flown 1 thrown 2 thrown 3 thrown 4 thrown 5 thrown 6 thrown 1 482 20 16 22 27 20 26 2 479 18 21 22 24 19 27 3 450 24 26 16 21 22 22 4 449 25 21 21 22 21 21 5 445 20 20 29 31 12 19 6 439 25 20 29 19 17 21
The first number is the plane number, the second the number of pixels flown, the third the number of 1's rolled, the fourth the number of 2's, etc... |
