Senseless statistics

There were a couple of Spanish-speaking fellows at the bus stop this afternoon flipping coins in the manner of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Neither of them ended up impressively richer or poorer as far as I could tell, but I was still amused just to see anyone passing the time that way.

Then again, perhaps they were fucking with the laws of probability in more subtle ways. I waited nearly twenty minutes for a bus that's supposed to run something like eight times an hour.

I once waited 30 minutes for an "every six minutes" 51, and it really did come with a pack of four or five 51s.

Yup, I saw three of them go by in five minutes during my wait.
