Default Re: Teaching an intelligent guy about a basic statistics concept

Just to defend my number theory creds, my discussion with my friend was only in the context of how likely a set of numbers was to be the winning numbers, not the likelihood of having to split. I realized long ago that 1,2,3,4,5,6 could easily be a terrible choice.

I actually find this de-rail to be very interesting. But it's a de-rail so I'll stop there.
