    I actually did some basic stats to determine my spot for the side competition (mostly prompted by Baseballa taking the spot I was going to choose). By "basic," I mean, rudimentary, and possibly piss-poor... but despite my non-scientific approach, questionable assumptions (e.g. winning and losing scores are independent of each other) and (very) small sample size, some trends did emerge! It's actually kind of interesting:

    - Of the 10 singles digit options, five are likely results--this yields 25 digits combinations that are fairly likely, about half of which have already been taken.

    - Two numbers are very unlikely results: this yields 4 horrible choices... one of which has been taken.

    - Per my aforementioned half-assed stats, I found about 4 strong expected value combinations, all of which already taken.

    I'm almost curious to mine some data and do a more thorough version... Nah, who am I kidding, back to the internet for me!

    Isn't it more fun to have the numbers chosen after the cell has been selected?

    Everyone will play the 7 and 4 and 0 and 3.

    Oh, and put me down for B6 if you will.

    This week could be interesting. Lots of game that seemingly could go either way.
