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?

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!

sorry run it by me why we can't burn people at the stake again...? :D

Aug-4-2007 07:20

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 ;)

Can you check out the races first please?

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!

I know you don't have to be weak. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. That statement was supposed to be about acknowledging that you can't and will never comprehend everything around you. Even if you watch Discovery Channel.

Never mind. I can tell I'm still being hazy. I didn't mean any disrespect, flautim.
