Data keeps flowing in



2402 samples now.

First, I want to thank one reader, MaienM, for making a wonderful little AddOn that records the time and ItemID of my flips automatically. It's a really handy tool that makes my data gathering a lot smoother and less tiring. Thanks MaienM!

As for the data, I think I'm at a point where I have enough data to do a little more detailed analysis. I didn't want to get into too much analysis there were so few data points, as it would have been pretty much useless. I'm mostly just curious to see if some of the assumptions that we all make, like the independence of each flip, are actually supported by the data so far. Let's see what I can dig up in the next few days.
