...so imagine my surprise when the number 1 was the first one up - I guess I had seen too many people post a comment that since they were the first one in the list they wouldn't be chosen but Elizabeth was the first to post and her number was the first one 'drawn'......first I made a list of all the eligible posts...
...then after I generated the first number I started playing with random.org - I told you I was a geek...
...this is the list after 10 hits - I was so surprised that already a few numbers were 'chosen' more than once - I guess I expected to see 10 different numbers...
...OK - so you can see where I'm going with this can't you - this is the list after 20 hits - and there were only 19 numbers to choose from - some numbers haven't been chosen at all...
...after 30 hits...
...after 40 hits...
...after 50 hits - did you notice that Nicola hadn't been chosen in 40 hits and then in the next 10 she was chosen 3 times - hmmmm...
...after 60 hits and Liss hasn't been chosen yet - how long...
...not much longer after 62 hits the number 11 is finally chosen...
...after 70 hits - it appears that 4 - 12 and 14 are the best numbers to have...
...so of course my inner geek wouldn't let me stop until I had gone all the way to 100 - and guess what...
...#4 - had the most hits...go figure...
CONGRATULATIONS ELIZABETH!!!
Teresa, remind me never to by a lottery ticket!!!!
ReplyDeleteit took 60 hits before it drew my name out once :(
No wonder why I never win anything.
I enjoyed your blogging on random.org
ReplyDeletehaha, only just read this! teresa, you're a total geek... it's wonderful!
ReplyDeletei can't believe you had the patience to do it at all, let alone make the spreadsheet, update it and screen shot. maybe i should slow down.
