Clumping together.

Surely someone else than me must've noticed that if one suspect easily clams they all do, and the townspeople don't and vice versa. And so on and so forth. I assume it's got something to do with the "same thing behind door 2" rule, no? It's useful to me in that I use my questions more economically when I notice what pattern the current case follows. Any thoughts on this?

Some of you remind me of the witch burners of old ("we don't understand what this person's on about and it scares us so let's kill them")
Ok, i think you're exaggerating just slightly, no one is trying to crucify you :)
Leddie is right, the community's reaction to this is probably for every reason she just stated.
And to answer your question, Jim, its not EXACT, but there are a certain number of questions you have at the beginning of each case within one or two. ie. for an Incredibly Hard case, you either get 1 or 0. Your skill chance is what determines how many (if any) questions you get after clamming occurs.

Jim, you're wasting your time on this. A more productive thing would be to go to Shanghai and figure out which horse is going to win. when you get that pattern, please PM me. :)

No matter. Treschaude PMd me the answer I was looking for and I'm doing some stats on my own (with an extra test detective). I will indeed post what I come up with, even if it's a dead end. I am *certainly not* saying I'm right and you're all wrong. This because we're not even talking about the same thing. I will not speculate whether that comes from the fact that you are all hopelessly daft, *or* the fact that English isn't my native language and my vocabulary is limited. ;P
Sophie4.. you don't know who you're asking. Just because it's so totally crazy I feel an urge to actually check that out. I will start on the horses after I'm done with this. ;D

I have a few Sleuth superstitions of my own. I'm sure they are just random chaos and just happen as often as I think they do simply because of the number of cases I have done. I'm not a statistics person. If you find a way to win on the ponies, let me know!

Hehe. Well, this I'm going after here ain't superstition, since I'm trying to verify it using statistics and maths. In this case it's called a "theory". ;P
Sure I'll let ya'll know when I've tried to figure out the ponies. :)

SS, because burning people at the stake is BAAAAD.
Besides, drawing and quartering them is MUCH more fun!

I don't think Tony Roma makes a steak sauce for that anyway. And who would you want to eat with a dry rub? (hope no one answers ;)

Oh and by the way you don't have to be weak to be religious in fact to be a Christian you actually have to be quite strong - even in so-called Christian Countries!
